The paperwork required was an application for a new title, and and odometer statement form obtainable from the nearest county tax branch office. The signatures don't need to be notarized on these or the blue title. The state sales tax is 6.25 percent, and can be paid with a check if you mail it in, else cash in person. If the car is a gift, the tax is only $10. We did the transaction in person at the tax office, and the buyer had to also show proof of insurance. I wasn't aware that proof of insurance was required to change title ownership, and am still not sure about it. However, the buyer had it, so it was not questioned.
