Do you pay Arizona sales tax on an RV purchase from a private party?

Yes, Arizona sales tax is due on the purchase of a recreational vehicle (RV) from a private party. Sales tax is due at the time and place of sale, according to Arizona Revised Statutes (A.R.S.) § 42-5061(A) and § 42-5152(A). It is important to obtain a bill of sale from the private party as proof of the purchase. The sales tax due should be calculated based on the purchase price of the RV and the local tax rate where the sale takes place. The Arizona Department of Revenue (ADOR) provides information and forms related to sales tax on their website.
