Vermont Motorcycle Requirements
Vermont requires a bill of sale to title or register a motorcycle. Notarization is not required for a Vermont motorcycle bill of sale. Vermont publishes an official form (Bill of Sale and Odometer Disclosure Statement (Form VT-005)).
Federal law (49 U.S.C. sec. 32709; 49 CFR Part 580) and Vermont law require a written odometer disclosure on transfer of ownership. Per the 2021 NHTSA rule (effective Jan. 1, 2021) reflected on Form VT-005, vehicles model year 2011 and newer are subject to odometer disclosure for 20 years (a 2011 vehicle stays subject until 2031, 2012 until 2032, etc.), replacing the old 10-year/pre-2011 exemption. Vermont requires the Odometer Disclosure Statement for self-propelled vehicles model year 2011 or newer with a registered weight of 16,000 lbs. or less; both buyer and seller must sign. The ODS is built into Form VT-005.
