If you want to sell a car in Salt Lake City (or anywhere else in Utah for that matter), you will need a Utah bill of sale form. In addition to the vehicle certificate of title, a form for a bill of sale needs to be completed by the buyer and the seller before the State will transfer the title into the new owner's name. When calculating state tax, the bill of sale purchase amount for the car is used to determine how much tax the buyer will need to pay.
The Utah State Tax Commission provides a simple bill of sale form that can be used when buying or selling a vehicle. The form is very simple and easy to fill out. In order to obtain the form, download state form TC-843 here. Save the form to your computer. You can then fill out the form using your keyboard and print it out.
Although the Utah State form TC-843 will suffice in most cases, the form is rather simple and may not contain all of the information you need for a good bill of sale contract. Therefore, you may want to download a bill of sale template from the Internet and customize it to suit your needs.

When searching for a bill of sale template form, consider downloading a template that also has a space for a notary public affidavit and stamp.

If you choose to create your own bill of sale form with a word processor, or opt to download a bill of sale template, be sure that the form contains the following information regarding the sale of your vehicle:
You should also include terms and conditions of the sale regarding a warranty. If you're selling the car to the buyer 'as is' and will not offer a warranty, you need to make sure that the bill of sale includes language to this effect.
