How to sell a jet ski in Georgia

A jet ski bill of sale works like a boat bill of sale: it identifies the personal watercraft by hull identification number, records engine hours, the price and the date, and lists the trailer if it is part of the sale. PWCs are registered through the state boat registration office, which accepts a signed bill of sale as proof of purchase.

Seller steps

  1. Confirm you hold clear title. If a lender is on the title, get the lien release before you list it.
  2. Agree on the price and fill in the Georgia jet ski bill of sale above with the buyer. Record the HIN.
  3. Both parties sign and each keeps a copy. Georgia does not require a notary.
  4. Sign the title over to the buyer exactly as your name appears on it, and complete the odometer section on the title if the jet ski has one.
  5. Hand over the jet ski and keep your signed copy of the bill of sale for your records.

Buyer steps

  1. Bring the signed bill of sale (or Georgia's Form T-7), the signed title and your ID to the Georgia Department of Revenue.
  2. Expect to pay sales or use tax on the price shown on the bill of sale, plus title and registration fees.
  3. Register within Georgia's deadline, commonly 10 to 30 days from the sale date, to avoid late penalties.

Before you sign

  • The HIN is on the rear right of the hull, 12 characters.
  • Record engine hours from the gauge cluster.
  • If a trailer is included, add its VIN and generate a separate trailer bill of sale if the DMV asks for one.
  • Note the condition of the seat, hull and any aftermarket parts.

Why a bill of sale matters for a jet ski

  • Boat registration offices want the price for tax and the HIN for the record.
  • Engine hours are the mileage of a PWC; recording them prevents disputes.
  • The trailer is titled separately through the DMV and should be listed.
  • An as-is clause covers hull and engine problems found later.

Want both parties to walk away with a signed copy and a notary page ready? The $9 ready-to-sign pack adds them.

Georgia jet ski bill of sale questions

Is a bill of sale required to sell a jet ski in Georgia?+

Georgia requires a bill of sale in common situations, such as when the title does not show the purchase price. Georgia's Form T-7 provides evidence of the transaction and is required for title-exempt vehicles (1985 and older) or when the title has no price field. Vehicles 1986 and newer must be titled in the buyer's name. Plates stay with the seller. Georgia publishes Form T-7 for this; the PDF from this page carries the same information and is accepted alongside it.

Does a Georgia jet ski bill of sale need to be notarized?+

Georgia does not require notarization. Two signatures are enough. If you want extra certainty, the ready-to-sign pack includes a notary acknowledgment page you can use anyway.

Where does the buyer take the bill of sale in Georgia?+

To the Georgia Department of Revenue (Motor Vehicle Division) or the county office that handles vessel registration, together with the signed title, proof of insurance where required, and payment for tax and fees.

Does a jet ski need a title?+

Many states title PWCs; others only register them. Check the boat registration page linked on your state page. Either way the bill of sale is required or expected.

Is the trailer included in the jet ski bill of sale?+

You can list it, but some DMVs want a separate trailer bill of sale because the trailer is titled on its own. The trailer form here takes a minute.
