Today I went to get a trailer title transfered and found out I only needed a bill of sale.  I also wanted to tranfer title on a 1996 RMX250 I recently bought.  I found out I had to pay tax and Title fees to do that as well as purchase off highway registraion sticker.  I guess I get all that, but I don't know how to handle the rest.  I won a 2007 Polaris 450 and all I have is out of state bill of sale.  How is that handled and I also have a 1989 RM125 I purchased as a back up bike and it only has a ill of sale.  Can someone help me figure this out ???

I'm sure someone will be along shortly to help,,,,I unlocked the topic for you so people could post.

Here ya go. Read pages 10-12. They will answer all your questions. You might want to print it out, because the people that work there usually don't know the laws. The older ones I would have someone write you a bill of sale that is dated earlier than 7/2002 with the VIN # on it. Then you don't have to pay tax. Good Luck

I appreciate your help very much !

That part is especially true.

You're Welcome

So, On the Polaris 450 I juast won I take it I have to come up with 7% tax on the declared value from the shipping reciept or should I call the Company in Georgia that it was purchased from and ask for a bill of sale for a lower amount ???

You will have to pay the tax on the declared value.  You can try asking them for a BOS for a lower amount, but I highly doubt they will go for it.  They get a tax break based on the value of their "loss."

That gonna cost a few bucks to say the least.  How strictly is that Off Highway sticker enforced places other than Croom and Ocala and sites like that...

Are you related to anyone with the last name Pearce?   :P

doh!

Don`t know about Croom but Ocala  you will get a ticket.
