AVAILABLE HELP
For assistance in completing this form, contact your county tax assessor-collector.
For information about motor vehicle sales and use tax or emission fees, contact the Texas Comptroller of Public
Accounts, Tax Assistance Section, at 1-800-252-1382 toll free nationwide or call 512-463-4600.
For title or registration information, contact your county tax assessor-collector or the Texas Department of Motor
Vehicles at 1-888-368-4689 or 512-465-3000.
With a few exceptions, you are entitled to be informed about the information the department collects about you. The
Texas Government Code entitles you to receive and review the information on request and to request that the
department correct any information about you that is deemed incorrect. Please contact the Texas Department of
Motor Vehicles at 1-888-368-4689 or 512-465-3000 for details.
NOTICE
The sales and use tax must be paid to the county tax assessor-collector within 30 days from the date of purchase or entry of
the vehicle into Texas. A $2.50 fee for transfer of current registration is due in addition to the title application fees and other
applicable fees. If not currently registered, registration fees will be due.
A 6.25 percent motor vehicle sales or use tax is imposed on the sale price (less trade-in allowance) of motor vehicles for use
in Texas or a motor vehicle purchased outside of the state and later brought into this state by a Texas resident.
Standard Presumptive Value (SPV) applies to private-party sales of most used motor vehicles purchased or brought into
Texas. The tax is computed on the greater of the sales price or 80 percent of the SPV on the day of title application.
New Texas residents are subject to a $90 use tax on a vehicle brought into this state that was previously registered to the
new resident in another state or foreign country. This is in lieu of the 6.25 percent use tax imposed on a Texas resident.
There is a $10 gift tax when a person receives a motor vehicle as a gift from an immediate family member, guardian, or a
decedent's estate. A vehicle donated to, or given by, a nonprofit service organization qualifying under IRC 501(c)(3) is also
taxed as a gift. Both donor and recipient must sign the Comptroller's joint affidavit Form 14-317, Affidavit of Motor Vehicle
Gift Transfer. The affidavit and the title application must be submitted in person by either the donor or recipient.
A transaction in which a motor vehicle is transferred to another person without payment of consideration and one that does
not qualify as a gift described above is a sale and will be subject to tax calculated on the vehicle's standard presumptive
value.
A late penalty equal to 5 percent of the tax will be charged if the tax or surcharge is paid from 1 to 30 calendar days late. If
more than 30 calendar days late, the penalty will be 10 percent of the tax, minimum penalty is $1.
In addition to the late tax payment penalty, Texas Transportation Code provides for an escalating delinquent transfer penalty
of up to $250 for failure to apply for title within 30 days from the date of title assignment. Submit this application along with
proper evidence of ownership and appropriate valid proof of financial responsibility such as a liability insurance card or
policy.
All new residents applying for a Texas title and registration for a motor vehicle must file at the county tax assessor-collector
of the county in Texas where the applicant resides within 30 days of establishing residency. Texas law requires that all
vehicles previously registered and titled or registered in another state or country be inspected for safety and the vehicle
identification number verified before such vehicles may be registered in Texas. These inspections must be made by a state
appointed safety inspection station that will complete a Texas Vehicle Inspection Report. This form must be submitted to the
county tax assessor-collector with your application for registration and Texas title.
