1. Build or acquire the camper. If you are building the camper yourself, you must ensure it meets all applicable safety and building codes. If you are purchasing the camper, ensure that the seller provides you with a bill of sale or other documentation that proves ownership of the camper.
2. Complete the Ohio Application for Certificate of Title (Form BMV 3774). This form can be obtained from the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV) website or any BMV office. Ensure you provide accurate and complete information on the form, including the camper's make, model, year, VIN number, and dimensions.
3. Obtain a VIN number. If your camper does not already have a VIN number, you must obtain one from the BMV. You can do this by completing the Application for VIN Inspection (Form BMV 5719) and submitting it to a BMV inspection station.
4. Pay the applicable fees. The fee for a camper title in Ohio is $15. You must also pay any applicable sales tax and registration fees.
5. Submit your application and supporting documents to the BMV. You can submit your application and supporting documents to any BMV office or by mail.
6. Receive your camper title. Once your application has been processed and approved, you will receive your camper title by mail.
If you are looking to sell your homemade camper, you must provide the buyer with a valid title. Without a title, the buyer will not be able to register the camper or obtain a license to operate it in the state of Ohio.
