New Jersey bill of sale forms are reports that cover the sales of private property between two individuals or entities. They contain identifying information about the property, buyer, and seller and must be signed by both parties to be considered valid. Bills of sale are most often utilized for sales of vehicles and boats but can technically be used for any privately owned property.
