Emissions inspections are required in five counties: Salt Lake, Davis, Weber, Utah, and Cache.

Vehicles less than 6 model years old: Biennial (every two years) testing required. Even-model-year vehicles test in even calendar years; odd-model-year vehicles test in odd calendar years.
Vehicles 6 model years old and older: Annual testing required (in Salt Lake, Davis, Weber, and Utah counties). Cache County follows the biennial schedule for all applicable vehicles.
Exempt vehicles: 1967 and older model years, current and prior model year vehicles, electric vehicles, motorcycles, and diesel vehicles (in most cases).

Emissions inspections can be completed at authorized inspection stations or On the Spot Renewal Stations throughout the applicable counties.

UTAH-SPECIFIC LEGAL NOTES

No Notarization Required: Utah does not require notarization for a bill of sale or title transfer. However, notarization is recommended for high-value transactions to provide additional legal protection.
Plates Stay with Seller: In Utah, license plates remain with the seller, not the vehicle. The seller should remove the plates at the time of sale. Plates can be transferred to another vehicle the seller owns or surrendered to the DMV.
Insurance Requirements: Utah law requires minimum liability insurance coverage of $25,000 per person / $65,000 per accident for bodily injury and $15,000 for property damage (25/65/15). Buyer must have valid insurance before operating the vehicle.
Lemon Law Limitations: Utah's Lemon Law (Utah Code §§ 13-20-1 through 13-20-7) applies ONLY to new motor vehicles within the first year of delivery or 12,000 miles (whichever comes first). It does not apply to used vehicles or private-party sales.
Salvage and Rebuilt Titles: Vehicles with salvage titles must pass a salvage vehicle inspection before a rebuilt title can be issued. Buyers should exercise caution when purchasing salvage vehicles.
Out-of-State Vehicles: Vehicles purchased out of state and brought into Utah are subject to Utah use tax. Credit is given for taxes paid to other states, up to the Utah rate.
Boat Titling Threshold: Motorized watercraft and sailboats manufactured in 1985 or later must be titled. Boats manufactured before 1985 are exempt from titling but still require registration if motorized.

About This Template

A contract is a written record of what two or more parties agreed to and what happens if someone does not follow through. Clear language, defined terms, and clean signature blocks keep disputes small and enforceable. The most common mistakes in contracts come from vague promises, missing details about timing or payment, and skipping standard protective clauses like governing law and dispute resolution.

Important Notice

This template is provided for informational purposes. It is not legal advice. We recommend having an attorney review any legal document before signing, especially for high-value or complex matters.
