Buying or selling a car privately in Florida: the forms

These are the official Florida forms that come up when you buy or sell a car privately, each linked straight to flhsmv.gov. For the sale itself, Florida’s form is HSMV 82050 (Notice of Sale and/or Bill of Sale).

We don’t host copies, so you always get the current version from the state. We check every link weekly.
