Before you sign
- When is a bill of sale used?
- Tennessee Code 47-2-201(1)-(2), amended by 2026 Public Chapter 704, Section 14; effective July 1, 2026: a goods-sale contract priced at $500 or more generally needs a signed record indicating the sale. Enforcement under the general rule is limited to the stated quantity. Merchant confirmations and the statutory exceptions can change the result; this is not a rule that every sale must use a particular bill-of-sale form. Source
- Notary and witnesses
- The reviewed section addresses a signed record and enforceability. It does not establish a universal notarization or witness requirement for a private goods-sale record. Specialized transactions and other applicable laws may impose additional requirements. Source

Details to check in Tennessee
- Identify the goods and quantity precisely: the general signed-record rule does not permit enforcement beyond the quantity shown. Source
- Between merchants, a sufficient confirmation received within a reasonable time can satisfy the signature rule unless an objection in a record is given within ten days. The section also preserves its statutory exceptions. Source
- This is an enforceability rule for goods contracts, not a government blank form or a universal notarization requirement. Source
