Why You Need This Bill of Sale

Code § 32-28-3-1. For an installer, this document is your primary defense against property damage claims and disputes regarding hazardous equipment ownership.

Frequently Asked Questions

01

Does my Indiana garage door bill of sale need to mention the Home Improvement Contract Act?

Yes. If the total transaction exceeds $150, Indiana Code requires specific disclosures under the Home Improvement Contract Act (HICA), including your business address, a start/end date, and a description of the improvements. This Bill of Sale helps you document that these required components were delivered and accepted by the homeowner.

02

How do I handle the high-tension spring hazard in this document?

While the Bill of Sale transfers ownership of the hardware, it should specifically disclaim liability for injuries occurring from DIY adjustments to torsion springs post-sale, as these are known industry risks regulated by OSHA and UL 325 standards.

03

Is a Bill of Sale enough to protect my right to a mechanic's lien in Indiana?

A Bill of Sale provides evidence of the materials provided, but to fully protect your rights under Ind. Code § 32-28-3-1, you must also follow specific notice requirements. However, having a signed Bill of Sale is essential for proving the value of the goods and the date of delivery if a lien ever needs to be enforced.
