Fee Information
Transfer of ownership from the seller to the buyer is not finished until the completed title is turned in and the excise tax and related fees are paid. If the vehicle is a gift, an affidavit must be signed in front of a notary or deputy. All transfers must be completed within 10 business days to avoid a $2 transfer penalty.
