Arizona Sales Tax on Private-Party RV Purchases

Yes. Arizona imposes sales tax (Transaction Privilege Tax) on RV purchases from private sellers.

Key Points

• Tax due at time/place of sale per A.R.S. § 42-5061(A) and § 42-5152(A).
• Obtain a bill of sale as proof of purchase price.
• Rate based on purchase price + local jurisdiction rate where sale occurs.
• File/pay via Arizona Department of Revenue (ADOR).

This applies even if no dealer is involved. Failure to pay can result in penalties and registration delays.
