How to sell a equipment in Wyoming

An equipment bill of sale records the sale of machinery, tools or heavy equipment: skid steers, excavators, generators, trailers of tools, shop machines. It lists the make, model, serial number, hours and attachments, states the price and the as-is terms, and gives the buyer a receipt for their books and the seller proof the equipment is gone.

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 Wyoming equipment bill of sale above with the buyer. Record the Serial no..
  3. Sign it. Signing in front of a notary is not always required in Wyoming, but offices ask for it often enough that it is worth the few dollars.
  4. Hand over any registration papers, manuals, receipts or health records that go with the equipment.
  5. Hand over the equipment and keep your signed copy of the bill of sale for your records.

Buyer steps

  1. Check the Serial no. against the equipment itself before you sign.
  2. Keep the signed bill of sale with your records; it is your proof of ownership and purchase price.
  3. If you bought it for a business, give the bill of sale to your bookkeeper for the asset record.

Before you sign

  • Copy the serial number from the manufacturer's plate, not from a listing.
  • Record hour meter readings on anything with an engine.
  • List every attachment, bucket and accessory in the sale.
  • If the buyer is a business, use the business name as the buyer.

Why a bill of sale matters for a equipment

  • Businesses need a bill of sale to book the asset and claim depreciation.
  • Heavy equipment is not titled in most states, so this is the ownership record.
  • Serial numbers on the bill of sale help if the equipment is later reported stolen.
  • An as-is clause on used machinery protects the seller from repair claims.

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

Wyoming titles are issued by the county clerk, who accepts the assigned title or a notarized bill of sale as evidence of ownership. A conforming bill of sale also lets the buyer operate the vehicle for 60 days while the prior title is held by a lender or auction. Plates stay with the seller.

Wyoming equipment bill of sale questions

Is a bill of sale required to sell a equipment in Wyoming?+

Wyoming requires a bill of sale in common situations, such as when the title does not show the purchase price. Wyoming titles are issued by the county clerk, who accepts the assigned title or a notarized bill of sale as evidence of ownership. A conforming bill of sale also lets the buyer operate the vehicle for 60 days while the prior title is held by a lender or auction. Plates stay with the seller. Wyoming has no mandatory form, so any complete, signed bill of sale like the one generated here is accepted.

Does a Wyoming equipment bill of sale need to be notarized?+

Notarization is not always required in Wyoming, but offices often ask for it, so it is worth doing. The ready-to-sign pack includes a notary acknowledgment page formatted for Wyoming.

Does the buyer need to file a equipment bill of sale in Wyoming?+

No. Equipment are not titled or registered with the state, so there is nothing to file. The signed bill of sale is the ownership record; each party keeps a copy.

Is heavy equipment titled?+

Generally no. Construction and farm equipment is sold on a bill of sale, sometimes with the manufacturer's statement of origin. A few states title road-going equipment like truck tractors.

Do I need a UCC search before buying equipment?+

For anything expensive from a business seller, yes. A lender may hold a lien on the equipment. The bill of sale includes the seller's statement that it is free of liens, but a UCC search confirms it.
