Step 2: Enter the vehicle information. Provide the year, make, model, body style, and vehicle identification number (VIN). For watercraft transfers, include the hull identification number. Double-check all vehicle details before proceeding.
Step 3: Complete the dealer and tax fields. Enter your Ohio dealer permit number, vendors number, trade-in allowance, and gross tax due. The form requires the true selling price to comply with Ohio tax law. If a tax exemption applies, state the reason in the tax exemption field.
Step 4: Fill in the applicant and lien sections. Enter the applicant's printed name and address. If a lien exists on the vehicle, provide the lender's name and address. If there is no lien, write "none" in the lien information field.
Step 5: Indicate vehicle condition. Mark the appropriate rating: Good, Fair, Poor, or Wrecked. The condition rating affects the vehicle's assessed value for tax purposes. Be careful when completing the FAIR and ADDRESS fields, as errors here are common.
Step 6: Attest the mileage and sign the form. Ohio law requires dealers to declare the odometer reading to prevent mileage fraud. Enter the correct vehicle mileage, then sign and date the form. Both parties to the vehicle transfer must provide printed names and signatures.
