After a New Jersey retail sale you print one temporary plate and give the inspection notice. You also give the Used Car Lemon Law warranty, unless the car is excluded or the buyer signs a valid waiver. The MVC says titles must be transferred within 10 working days of the sale to avoid a $25 penalty. You charge 6.625% sales tax and keep most records 3 years.

## How do temporary tags work in New Jersey?

One temporary plate per bona fide sale, with the title or certificate of origin in hand and insurance confirmed. It expires after 30 days or when the permanent registration arrives, whichever comes first ([MVC rule 13:21-15.9](https://www.nj.gov/mvc/pdf/business/nj_motor_vehicle_dealer_regulations.pdf)).

[P.L.2023, c.285](https://pub.njleg.gov/bills/2022/PL23/285_.HTM) tightened the rules:

- **A separate application** to issue tags, with proof of a secure storage and printing area and a certificate of completion of an MVC-approved training course.
- **Security paper.** Dealers could issue the new light grey tags with a holographic NJMVC logo from August 11, 2024; only new tags may be on the road from November 1, 2024 ([MVC advisory](https://www.nj.gov/mvc/pdf/about/New%20Temporary%20License%20Plates%20Advisory%20-%20LAW%20Enforcement%202024-01.pdf)).
- **Records for 3 years, unredacted:** the buyer's driver's license, title or certificate of origin, bill of sale, proof of insurance, the "static IP address of the printer", and a copy of the certificate and plate.
- **Fines on the licensed dealer:** "$2,500 for a first offense" and $5,000 for later ones, each certificate a separate offense, plus suspension or revocation. You are liable for your authorized employees' acts.

You enroll in [eTemp](https://www.njportal.com/temptags) with your dealership license number and a principal owner's driver's license number, and buy paper from an approved vendor. The [dealer license guide](/blog/new-jersey-dealer-license-step-by-step) covers the application.

**Fees.** $3 per temporary registration, $5 for a nonresident, $25 for a second tag ([MVC rules](https://www.nj.gov/mvc/pdf/business/nj_motor_vehicle_dealer_regulations.pdf); [2018 MVC notice](https://www.nj.gov/mvc/pdf/business/Temp_TagLaw_Change.pdf)).

**Out-of-state buyers.** The [statute](https://pub.njleg.gov/bills/2022/PL23/285_.HTM) sets 30 days for a nonresident tag; the MVC's posted rule text still says 20. Plan on the statute's 30.

**A second tag.** Since August 17, 2026 ([R.2026 d.091](https://nj.gov/mvc/pdf/about/R.2026%20d.091%20%2858%20N.J.R.%201922%28a%29%29.pdf)), one "valid for 30 days beyond the original" is allowed only for a lost title, a lienholder's delay, complex title corrections or replacement and duplicate titles, or at the chief administrator's discretion. You may not alter a tag once issued.

**The four-sale rule.** Sell or lease fewer than 4 New Jersey-registered vehicles in your first 12 months, or any 12 months after, and you may not issue temporary registrations or obtain or keep dealer plates.

## What warranty does a New Jersey used car carry?

The Used Car Lemon Law warranty, unless the car is excluded or the buyer signs a valid waiver. You are a "dealer" under that law once you sell or offer a used car "after selling or offering for sale three or more used motor vehicles in the previous 12-month period" ([P.L.1997, c.22](https://pub.njleg.gov/bills/9697/PL97/22_.htm)). It covers cars "normally used for personal, family or household purposes".

| Miles on the car at sale              | Warranty, whichever comes first |
| ------------------------------------- | ------------------------------- |
| 24,000 or less                        | 90 days or 3,000 miles          |
| More than 24,000 but less than 60,000 | 60 days or 2,000 miles          |
| 60,000 or more                        | 30 days or 1,000 miles          |

The tiers are in [56:8-69](https://lis.njleg.state.nj.us/nxt/gateway.dll/statutes/1/54260/54556?f=templates&fn=document-frame.htm&2.0). The buyer pays a $50 deductible for each repair of a covered item ([56:8-70](https://lis.njleg.state.nj.us/nxt/gateway.dll/statutes/1/54260/54557?f=templates&fn=document-frame.htm&2.0)). Three or more repairs of the same defect, or 20 or more days out of service in total, can lead to a refund of the purchase price, less taxes, fees and set deductions ([56:8-71](https://lis.njleg.state.nj.us/nxt/gateway.dll/statutes/1/54260/54558?f=templates&fn=document-frame.htm&2.0)).

**Leaving it out does not help.** You "shall be deemed to have given the warranty as a matter of law, unless a waiver has been signed" ([56:8-74](https://lis.njleg.state.nj.us/nxt/gateway.dll/statutes/1/54260/54561?f=templates&fn=document-frame.htm&2.0)).

**The "as is" waiver** is available only on a car with more than 60,000 miles, "as a result of a price negotiation" ([56:8-73](https://lis.njleg.state.nj.us/nxt/gateway.dll/statutes/1/54260/54560?f=templates&fn=document-frame.htm&2.0)). It is in writing, separately stated in the sale agreement or an attachment, and separately signed by the buyer. It states your warranty duty and that the buyer got a price adjustment and is buying "as is".

**Excluded cars.** Under [56:8-76](https://lis.njleg.state.nj.us/nxt/gateway.dll/statutes/1/54260/54563?f=templates&fn=document-frame.htm&2.0), the warranty, warranty-terms and repurchase sections do not apply to:

- A used car "sold for less than $3,000".
- One "over seven or more model years old".
- One "declared a total loss by an insurance company", if the buyer was told so in writing at or before the sale.
- One "with more than 100,000 miles".

The exclusions lift only those sections. The unlawful-practices section and the Lemon Law's $10,000 dealer bond ([56:8-77](https://lis.njleg.state.nj.us/nxt/gateway.dll/statutes/1/54260/54564?f=templates&fn=document-frame.htm&2.0)) still apply; ask the MVC whether that is the same bond as your license bond. [Section 56:8-68](https://lis.njleg.state.nj.us/nxt/gateway.dll/statutes/1/54260/54555?f=templates&fn=document-frame.htm&2.0) makes it unlawful to misrepresent a car's mechanical condition or its warranties, to fail to disclose known material defects before the sale, or to sell "as is" without a clear written explanation first.

**The administrative fee.** The Director of Consumer Affairs may set a Lemon Law fee "to be paid by the consumer" ([56:8-80](https://lis.njleg.state.nj.us/nxt/gateway.dll/statutes/1/54260/54567?f=templates&fn=document-frame.htm&2.0)). This guide did not read the amount or how dealers collect it.

## What else do you hand the buyer at delivery?

**The inspection notice.** A dealer may not sell at retail a used passenger car "to be registered in this State" unless it meets the standards for a certificate of approval ([N.J.S.A. 39:10-26](https://lis.njleg.state.nj.us/nxt/gateway.dll/statutes/1/32712/34304?f=templates&fn=document-frame.htm&2.0)). MVC rule 15.8 has you give written notice of your duties: unless waived, the car "must be presented for inspection at a private inspection facility" within 14 days of the temporary registration.

The buyer may waive that under [P.L.2017, c.182](https://pub.njleg.gov/bills/2016/PL17/182_.HTM), in a separately stated, separately signed clause with "a brief description of known defects that may need to be resolved in order to obtain a certificate of approval". Violating rule 15.8 can cost you the license.

**Itemized fees.** We found no cap on a documentary fee. The Division of Consumer Affairs' [sales practices rule](https://WWW.NJCONSUMERAFFAIRS.GOV/Adoptions/dcaado_051809.pdf) bars charging for a documentary or pre-delivery service without first itemizing it. The price goes in writing, in at least 10-point type, on the sale document, and you may not say a government agency requires the service.

**A financed sale** adds a free copy of the retail installment contract at signing ([N.J.S.A. 17:16C-23](https://lis.njleg.state.nj.us/nxt/gateway.dll/statutes/1/11293/12714?f=templates&fn=document-frame.htm&2.0)). See [Financing your own sales in New Jersey](/blog/new-jersey-buy-here-pay-here-financing-rules).

**Cancellation.** We found no New Jersey cooling-off rule for car sales, so this guide does not say whether a buyer may cancel. Ask counsel before you write cancellation terms.

## How do titles work after a New Jersey sale?

You need a valid title before you sell: "Buying, selling, or dealing in a vehicle without a valid title is prohibited" ([MVC rule 13:21-15.6](https://www.nj.gov/mvc/pdf/business/nj_motor_vehicle_dealer_regulations.pdf)). Each document is a separate violation. A first violation brings a 15-day suspension (or the rest of the term, if shorter), later ones 15 to 90 days, and two or more may lead to revocation or nonrenewal.

The MVC's [ownership page](https://www.nj.gov/mvc/vehicles/transowner.htm) says "New Jersey or dealer reassigned titles must be transferred within 10 working days from the date of sale", "To avoid a $25 penalty". It is written for the new owner; we found no separate dealer deadline.

Independent dealers in good standing can use a Dealer Services Program processing center; the online program needs "an average of 20 vehicles per month sold and registered in New Jersey over the previous 12 months" ([MVC Dealer Services](https://www.nj.gov/mvc/business/dealserv.htm)). For online transactions, power-of-attorney documents may be signed electronically without notarization ([P.L.2021, c.462](https://pub.njleg.gov/bills/2020/PL21/462_.HTM)).

## How does sales tax work on a New Jersey car sale?

The rate is 6.625% ([Division of Taxation](https://www.nj.gov/treasury/taxation/businesses/salestax/index.shtml)). The dealer charges it on the sale, states it separately on the invoice, and remits it on its own returns. Guide [S&U-4](https://www.nj.gov/treasury/taxation/pdf/pubs/sales/su4.pdf) lists a quarterly return (ST-50) and monthly remittance (ST-51) through the NJ Tax Portal; confirm with the Division which applies to you.

The Division's [auto tax guide](https://www.nj.gov/treasury/taxation/documents/pdf/guides/New-Jersey-Consumer-Automotive-Tax-Guide.pdf) says documentary fees, service contracts, dealer prep and window etching are taxable, and MVC title and registration fees are not. A trade-in counts only when "The contract for purchase of the motor vehicle and the trade-in are executed at the same time". Zero-emission vehicles are taxed at the full rate since July 1, 2025 ([ZEV notice](https://www.nj.gov/treasury/taxation/zevnotice.shtml)).

If your lot is in an Urban Enterprise Zone, ask the Division whether any reduced rate applies to vehicle sales; this guide did not check.

## What records must you keep, and for how long?

| Record                                | How long                          | Source                                                                                   |
| ------------------------------------- | --------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Business records, paper or electronic | 3 years, on the licensed premises | [MVC rules](https://www.nj.gov/mvc/pdf/business/nj_motor_vehicle_dealer_regulations.pdf) |

| Dealer plate records                  | At least 3 years                  | MVC rules                                                                                |
| Temporary plate records, unredacted   | 3 years                           | [P.L.2023, c.285](https://pub.njleg.gov/bills/2022/PL23/285_.HTM)                        |
| Sales tax records                     | At least 4 years                  | [Guide S&U-4](https://www.nj.gov/treasury/taxation/pdf/pubs/sales/su4.pdf)               |

The MVC rule's 5-year inspection sticker records belong to new-vehicle dealers that issue those stickers, not to a used-only lot.

| ------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------ | ----------------------------------------- |

**The MVC** may investigate on a complaint or its own motion, enter your premises, examine books and records, and issue subpoenas ([MVC rule 13:21-15.13](https://www.nj.gov/mvc/pdf/business/nj_motor_vehicle_dealer_regulations.pdf)). Failing to cooperate can bring suspension, revocation, nonrenewal or a fine. A follow-up inspection can come any time after 90 days from licensing, and failing it "will result in revocation of the license" ([used-dealer packet](https://nj.gov/mvc/pdf/business/useddealer.pdf)). Fines against a licensee run up to $500 for a first offense and $1,000 after ([P.L.2007, c.335](https://pub.njleg.gov/bills/2006/PL07/335_.HTM)). You have 25 days to request a hearing on a Notice of Proposed Disciplinary Action.

**DOBI**, if you finance, can investigate, demand your contracts and issue an Order to Show Cause seeking revocation and civil penalties ([2022 order](https://www.nj.gov/dobi/division_banking/ocf/enforcement/2022/OCF22_16.pdf)).

**The Attorney General and the Division of Consumer Affairs** enforce the Consumer Fraud Act, the motor vehicle advertising and sales practices regulations, and the Used Car Lemon Law. A [January 20, 2026 judgment](https://nj.gov/oag/newsreleases26/FAB_Final_Judgment.pdf) against a Rahway dealer found 511 violations, 368 of them odometer disclosure failures, for $842,776.24 in all. In [December 2022](https://njoag.gov/?p=103854), six dealers paid about $260,000 over unitemized doc and prep fees, ads without the total price, undisclosed damage, missing Lemon Law warranties and unpaid Lemon Law fees.

**The Division of Taxation** can inspect sales tax records. County offices such as [Ocean County's](https://co.ocean.nj.us/OC/ConsumerAffairs/frmUsedCarLemonLaws.aspx) take Lemon Law complaints. Your town's zoning, construction, fire and licensing offices enforce local rules; Trenton's business license inspector, for example, investigates unlicensed businesses ([Trenton Chapter 146](https://trentonnj.org/DocumentCenter/View/4042/2012-BUSINESS-LICENSE-ORDINANCE)).

## Can a New Jersey dealer sell cars on Sunday?

No. Under [N.J.S.A. 2C:33-26](https://lis.njleg.state.nj.us/nxt/gateway.dll/statutes/1/2785/3213?f=templates&fn=document-frame.htm&2.0), a person who "engages in the business of buying, selling, or exchanging motor vehicles" on a Sunday "commits a disorderly persons offense". The ban is statewide.

A first offense carries a fine up to $100, up to 10 days in jail, or both; a second, up to $500, up to 30 days, or both. A third and later offense carries "a fine of $750 or imprisonment for a period of six months or both". A licensed dealer also faces suspension or revocation under [N.J.S.A. 39:10-20](https://lis.njleg.state.nj.us/nxt/gateway.dll/statutes/1/32712/34297?f=templates&fn=document-frame.htm&2.0).

## Be ready: what an inspector should find

Pull five recent deal files. Each should hold:

- The temporary plate record, with the printer's IP address.
- The Lemon Law warranty, or a separately signed waiver.
- The inspection notice, or a signed waiver listing known defects.
- Itemized fees in at least 10-point type.
- A title transferred within 10 working days.

## What trips people up

- **Selling "as is" under 60,000 miles.** The waiver needs more than 60,000 miles; without a valid one, the warranty is deemed given.
- **Treating an excluded car as rule-free.** The exclusions lift the warranty, not the unlawful-practices section or the bond.
- **A second tag for convenience.** Only the four grounds qualify; fines run $2,500 then $5,000 per certificate.
- **Using 20 days for out-of-state buyers.** The statute says 30.
- **Opening on Sunday.** A disorderly persons offense and a license risk.

## What changed recently

- **August 17, 2026.** New grounds for a second temporary registration took effect.
- **November 1, 2024.** Only security-paper temporary tags allowed on the road.

## Frequently asked questions

### How long does a buyer have to transfer the title in New Jersey?

The MVC says New Jersey or dealer reassigned titles must be transferred within 10 working days from the date of sale, to avoid a $25 penalty. The MVC page is written for the new owner; we found no separate dealer deadline. Title reassignment carbons are kept 3 years.

### Which used cars are covered by New Jersey's Used Car Lemon Law?

Cars normally used for personal, family or household purposes, sold by a dealer that sold or offered 3 or more used cars in the prior 12 months. The warranty sections do not apply to cars sold under $3,000, over seven or more model years old, over 100,000 miles, or total losses disclosed in writing.

### Can a New Jersey buyer waive the used car warranty?

Only on a car with more than 60,000 miles, as a result of a price negotiation. The waiver must be in writing, separately stated in the sale agreement or an attachment, and separately signed by the buyer. It states that the buyer got a price adjustment and is buying "as is".

### How long is a New Jersey temporary tag good for?

30 days, or until the permanent registration arrives, whichever comes first. A nonresident tag is 30 days under the statute, though the MVC's posted rule text still says 20. A second 30-day tag is allowed only on the four grounds in the MVC's rule.

### Are documentation fees taxable in New Jersey?

Yes. The Division of Taxation says documentary fees are taxable and are not required by the State. Service contracts, dealer prep and window etching are taxable too; MVC title and registration fees are not. Itemize each documentary service in at least 10-point type on the sale document.

## Your next step

If an inspector asked for five deal files tomorrow, each should hold the temporary plate record, the warranty or waiver, the inspection notice and the itemized fees. LeftLane keeps the deal file and records in one system, and LeftLane's team moves your data over from the system you use now.
