CO Bill of Sale

Are you selling a Colorado vehicle, or perhaps purchasing a used Colorado vehicle, and don't really know if a Colorado Bill of Sale should be used? Well, in most cases, you want to use the Bill of Sale to document any sell, whether you are the buyer or the seller, as its main purpose is to prove that the sale took place at all. In Colorado, however, the Bill of Sale form is required for relinquishing your ownership of a vehicle that you have sold, or registration of a vehicle or transfer of a title to a vehicle you have just purchased.
