Golf Cart-specific legal information

Transfer notes

Golf cart title and registration requirements vary widely. Some states classify golf carts as low-speed vehicles (LSVs) and require title, registration, and insurance. Others do not title golf carts at all. A bill of sale is often the only transfer record.

Odometer disclosure

Golf carts are exempt from federal odometer disclosure. Golf carts typically do not have odometers.

Applicable federal law: 49 CFR 571.500 — Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard for Low-Speed Vehicles

Title and registration

LSV-classified golf carts receive standard vehicle titles. Non-LSV golf carts may not be eligible for a title. A bill of sale with the serial number is the primary transfer document for untitled carts.

Special disclosures

  • LSV (Low-Speed Vehicle) classification requires specific safety equipment: headlights, taillights, mirrors, seatbelts, and a 17-digit VIN.
  • Battery condition and age are the primary value drivers for electric golf carts and should be documented.
  • Street-legal status — confirm whether the cart meets state LSV requirements if the buyer plans to drive on public roads.
