Oklahoma Bill of Sale

Oklahoma rebuilt its whole system: titles went electronic in July 2025, tag agents became licensed operators, and the extra sales tax on vehicles was repealed. Form 718 — the notarized e-title bill of sale — is the document at the center of it.

The Oklahoma answer

Everything changed in 2025 — here's the new map.

Three dates rewired Oklahoma private sales: 2023, when titles moved to Service Oklahoma and tag agents became licensed operators; July 1, 2025, when every new title went electronic and Form 718 became the standard way to sell on an e-title; and the same day, when the extra 1.25% sales tax on vehicles was repealed, leaving the excise tax alone. What didn’t change: Oklahoma still notarizes — Form 718 carries a sworn notary block, as does the paper-title assignment.

The excise math

Twenty dollars, then three and a quarter percent.

Oklahoma’s used-vehicle excise tax reads like a word problem: $20 flat on the first $1,500 of the price, then 3.25% of everything above it — computed on the actual sales price, which is why the counter wants price proof. A bill of sale or purchase agreement does it; with neither, the buyer swears out notarized Form 722-1. Since July 2025 that excise stands alone — the old add-on sales tax is repealed — so an $8,000 pickup now costs $20 + 3.25% of $6,500 ≈ $231 in tax, plus title and registration.

Sooner questions

Oklahoma specifics, answered.

How do I sell a car in Oklahoma if there's no paper title?

That's now the normal case — Oklahoma issues all titles electronically since July 1, 2025. Form 718, the Bill of Sale of an Electronic Title, is the instrument built for it: completed, notarized, and processed through Service Oklahoma or a licensed operator, it transfers the e-title without paper ever printing. Sales on older paper titles still use the notarized title assignment.

What happened to Oklahoma's tag agents?

They became 'licensed operators.' Titles moved from the Tax Commission to Service Oklahoma in 2023, and the old tag-agency network was refranchised — about 250 locations plus Service Oklahoma's own centers now process transfers. Same counters for most people, new branding and systems behind them.

How much is Oklahoma's vehicle tax on a used private sale?

The excise tax is $20 on the first $1,500 of the price plus 3.25% of the remainder — and it got cheaper recently: the extra 1.25% sales tax on vehicle sales was repealed effective July 1, 2025. Price proof is required at titling: a bill of sale, a purchase agreement, or notarized Form 722-1 (Declaration of Vehicle Purchase Price) as the fallback.

What are the buyer's deadlines and duties?

Apply for title within two months of taking ownership, show insurance verification at transfer, and complete odometer disclosure for model year 2011 and newer. Plates stay with the seller, who can move an unexpired tag to their next vehicle for a registration credit.
