Selling a car in Alberta — what's different here
- There's no provincial sales tax on a private vehicle sale in Alberta. The buyer pays nothing in tax on the purchase, which is one reason private sales move faster here than in most of the country.
- You don't need a safety inspection to sell or transfer a vehicle that's already registered in Alberta. An out-of-province vehicle is the exception — that one needs an inspection before it can be registered here.
- Your plates stay with you, not with the car. They're attached to you as the owner, so take them off before the vehicle leaves and cancel or transfer the registration afterwards.
- Businesses that buy vehicles from the public in Alberta have to be licensed by AMVIC, the provincial regulator. Ours is B2036941, and it's worth asking anyone else you're dealing with for theirs.
The paperwork, and where it happens in Sherwood Park
The ownership transfer for a Alberta vehicle is done at a registry agent — the private offices that handle registration across Alberta. You'll need the registration, a signed bill of sale showing the date, the price and both parties, and photo ID. If there's still a loan on the car, the lender has to be paid out before the title can change hands — we do that directly with them, so you don't have to find the money first.
When we buy your car we complete that side of it for you. If you're selling privately instead, go with the buyer rather than sending them off with a signed form, and check the current requirements with a registry agent or AMVIC before you meet.
From our experience: As an Edmonton-area buyer, we handle Strathcona County sales every week and know exactly how Alberta plate retention, bills of sale, and registry transfers work for local sellers.

Frequently asked questions
- Do I have to travel into Edmonton to sell my car if I live in Sherwood Park?
- No. DriveOffer comes to you anywhere in Strathcona County, whether that's your home in Summerwood or your workplace near Baseline Road. The inspection, paperwork, and payment can all be completed at one local meeting.
- How does the Alberta registration transfer work when I sell my car in Sherwood Park?
- In Alberta your licence plate stays with you, the seller, not the vehicle. You provide a signed bill of sale (with the date, price, both names, the VIN, and the odometer reading) and hand over the vehicle registration. The buyer then registers it in their own name at any Alberta registry agent. We walk you through the paperwork at the meeting so nothing is missed.
- Can I sell a car in Sherwood Park if I still owe money on it?
- Yes, financed vehicles are welcome. We request a payout (lien) letter from your lender, pay the balance directly so the lien can be cleared, and any amount left over after the payout goes to you. If you owe more than the car is worth, you cover the difference (negative equity) before the sale can close. Because a lien has to be released, completion can sometimes take a little longer than a lien-free sale.
- Can I sell a leased vehicle to DriveOffer?
- Often, yes, but a lease works differently from a loan because the leasing company usually still owns the car. We help you request a lease buyout (payout) quote from your lessor; that figure, which may include GST, determines whether there is any value left for you after the lease is settled. We'll confirm the details with you before anything is finalized.
- Do I need an Alberta out-of-province inspection to sell my car here?
- No. An out-of-province inspection is only required when a vehicle previously registered in another province or country is being registered in Alberta. A normal Alberta-to-Alberta sale in Sherwood Park does not need one.
