How to sell a golf cart in Kansas

A golf cart bill of sale records the make, model, serial number and whether the cart is gas or electric, plus the price and date. Standard golf carts are not titled, so the bill of sale is the ownership record. Street-legal low-speed vehicles (LSVs) are titled and registered like cars.

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 Kansas golf cart bill of sale above with the buyer. Record the Serial / VIN.
  3. Both parties sign and each keeps a copy. Kansas 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 golf cart has one.
  5. File a notice of sale or release of liability with the Kansas Department of Revenue if Kansas offers one, remove your plates if the state keeps plates with the seller, and cancel the insurance once the buyer has driven away.

Buyer steps

  1. Bring the signed bill of sale (or Kansas's TR-312), the signed title and your ID to the Kansas 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 Kansas's deadline, commonly 10 to 30 days from the sale date, to avoid late penalties.

Before you sign

  • The serial plate is usually under the seat, on the frame or under the glove box.
  • State the battery age for electric carts; it drives the value.
  • Note whether it is a true LSV (lights, seat belts, 17-digit VIN) or a standard cart.
  • Include the charger in the description if it comes with the cart.

Why a bill of sale matters for a golf cart

  • Golf carts are rarely titled; the bill of sale is proof of ownership.
  • Needed for HOA, community or county permit stickers in many areas.
  • If the cart is an LSV, the DMV needs the price for tax.
  • Lists the charger and batteries, which are a big part of the value.

Kansas uses the TR-312 bill of sale mainly for antique and non-titled vehicles; titled vehicles transfer on the assigned title, and the TR-216 Seller's Notification of Sale ends the seller's liability. Registration must be made within 60 days of purchase to avoid penalties. Plates stay with the seller.

Kansas golf cart bill of sale questions

Is a bill of sale required to sell a golf cart in Kansas?+

Kansas requires a bill of sale in common situations, such as when the title does not show the purchase price. Kansas uses the TR-312 bill of sale mainly for antique and non-titled vehicles; titled vehicles transfer on the assigned title, and the TR-216 Seller's Notification of Sale ends the seller's liability. Registration must be made within 60 days of purchase to avoid penalties. Plates stay with the seller. Kansas publishes TR-312 for this; the PDF from this page carries the same information and is accepted alongside it.

Does a Kansas golf cart bill of sale need to be notarized?+

Kansas 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 Kansas?+

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

Do golf carts have titles?+

Standard golf carts do not. Low-speed vehicles built for public roads do, and are registered like cars. If yours has a 17-character VIN and a seat belt, it is probably an LSV.

Do I need a bill of sale for a golf cart?+

It is the only document most buyers will ever have for it, so yes. Communities that require golf cart permits usually ask for one too.
