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 St. Albert
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-based buyer, we handle St. Albert registry transfers and loan payouts north of the city as a routine part of every pickup.

Frequently asked questions
- Do you actually come to St. Albert, or do I have to drive into Edmonton?
- We come to you anywhere in St. Albert, from Akinsdale and Lacombe Park to Erin Ridge and along St. Albert Trail. You can meet us at your home or workplace, so there's no need to drive into Edmonton. We finalize the bill of sale and payment on the spot.
- What paperwork do I need to sell my car in St. Albert?
- You'll need your current vehicle registration and a valid photo ID that matches the registered owner. Alberta does not require a safety or emissions inspection for a standard private sale of an already-registered vehicle. We prepare the bill of sale (including the VIN, odometer reading, price, and both parties' details). Remember that in Alberta your licence plates stay with you, not the car. If there's a loan, we'll also need your lender details so we can pay it out.
- Will I have to pay tax when I sell my car privately in Alberta?
- No. Alberta has no provincial sales tax, so there is no PST on a private vehicle sale, and GST does not apply to a private (non-dealer) seller. GST is only charged when a vehicle is bought from a dealer, not on a private sale like this one. As the seller, you keep the full amount we agree on.
- Can I sell my car in St. Albert if it still has a loan or lease on it?
- Yes. We buy cars with active loans and leases regularly. We contact your lender to confirm the exact payout amount, settle the loan directly, and pay you any remaining equity by bank draft. If you owe more than the car is worth, we'll explain the shortfall before you commit to anything.
