Dealer Rescission - Cancellation of Sale

The sale of a motor vehicle may be rescinded or canceled if the dealer and purchaser agree to the rescission of sale within 30 days after the date of the title application. The dealer must document the rescission or cancellation of sale, and return to the rightful parties all fees, taxes, and other money. Documentation must be submitted to the Division within 15 business days after the date the parties agreed to rescind or cancel the sale. The documentation must include all of the following:

• A copy of Termination of Sale Agreement, form #15-0717 signed by the motor vehicle dealer, the purchaser(s), and the lienholder (if applicable)
• A certificate of title if it has been issued or an attestation that the certificate of title has been lost or destroyed

The Termination of Sale Agreement, form #15-0717 must have the original wet signatures. DocuSign with the appropriate DocuDign certificates will be accepted as 'wet signatures'.

Within 7 business days after receiving the documentation, the Division shall:

• Rescind, cancel or revoke any application for a certificate of title or any issued certificate of title
• Refund any fees and taxes that dealer paid to the Division.
  • The $4 title fee and any Authorized Third Party (ATP) retention fee(s) will not be refunded by the Division
• Issue a certificate of title to dealer that shows the dealer as owner and the odometer reading as recorded at the time rescission or cancellation

The motor vehicle dealer may not offer for retail sale the motor vehicle subject to the rescission or cancellation of sale until the dealer received the certificate of title in their name. The rescission or cancellation of sale does not negate that the motor vehicle has been subject of a previous retail sale.
