Overview

Most golf carts are untitled personal property, which means the bill of sale usually IS the ownership paperwork. It records the serial number, the price, whether the charger and batteries are included, and the as-is condition — everything a later dispute would hinge on.

The exception is street-legal LSVs (low-speed vehicles): once a cart is modified and registered for road use, it gets a VIN and a title like a car. Know which kind you're selling before you fill anything out.

What a golf cart bill of sale needs

Find the serial number

Cart serial numbers hide under the seat, in the glove box, or on the frame near the accelerator depending on the maker. It's the only unique identifier — record it exactly.

Batteries make the price

A battery set is a four-figure replacement. State the battery age/brand and whether the charger is included — it's the most commonly disputed part of a cart deal.

LSV carts are different

A street-legal low-speed vehicle has a VIN, a title, and DMV registration. If that's what you're selling, treat it like a motor vehicle sale, not personal property.

Community rules

Gated and golf communities often require carts to be registered with the HOA. That's between the buyer and the community, but noting it avoids surprises.

Golf Cart bill of sale FAQs

Do golf carts have titles?

Standard carts don't — they're personal property, and the bill of sale is the ownership record. Street-legal LSV conversions do carry titles and DMV registration.

What ID number does a golf cart have?

A manufacturer serial number (not a VIN), usually under the seat or in the glove-box area. Location varies by brand.

Should the charger be in the bill of sale?

Yes — chargers are expensive and brand-specific. List the charger and battery details in the additional terms so what's included is unambiguous.

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

No state requires notarization for an untitled cart. Plain signatures from both parties are sufficient.
