MOTOR VEHICLE:

Colorado residents selling their vehicles can voluntaril­y report an ownership transfer to the

Division of Motor Vehicles.

Pursuant to C.R.S 42-6109(3), a person transferri­ng ownership of a vehicle may voluntaril­y notify the Department of Revenue, Division of Motor Vehicles within five days of transfer of ownership at mydmv.colorado.gov (using the report release of liability link under vehicle ser vices) or in person at a county motor vehicle of fice.

This notificati­on ser ves to remove the seller’s liability for the buyer’s actions involving the vehicle after the sale is complete. Informatio­n entered into this system is available to law enforcemen­t agencies.

This process supplement­s the existing vehicle sales process and provides additional protection for individual­s selling their vehicles.

Vehicle owners are still required to sign their title over to the new vehicle owner and the seller should remove their license plates before completing a motor vehicle sale.

This ser vice is one of 35 ser vices available at mydmv.colorado.gov. Other available ser vices include vehicle registrati­on renewal, driver license renewal and the ability to request personaliz­ed license plates.

County Of fices will be closed on Monday, Feb. 15, 2021 for Presidents Day.

The Motor Vehicle Depar tment can be reached at 522-1158 for license plates/renewals or titling a vehicle. You can also reach our of fice by email at baconp@logancount­yco.gov. Like us on
