As a Michigan plumbing company owner, your equipment—from backflow preventers to drain line cameras—represents significant capital. Whether you are selling a single rough-in kit or your entire fixture inventory, a generic template won't shield you from the unique liabilities of our trade. In Michigan, you must ensure your Bill of Sale complies with the Statute of Frauds (MCL 566.132) and includes specific 'As-Is' disclaimers to mitigate future claims regarding water damage or plumbing code violations. This document provides a clear paper trail for ownership transfer while strictly adhering to Michigan Consumer Protection standards and local building code requirements.
Beyond the standard bill of sale sections, this template adds fields specific to Plumbing Company Owner:
A Bill of Sale serves the core legal purpose of providing proof of the transfer of ownership of an item from the seller to the buyer. It formalizes the transaction and fulfills the legal need for documentation of the sale, aiding in preventing disputes over ownership and clarifying the terms and conditions agreed upon by the parties involved.
Warranty Claims
Clearly define warranty terms and conditions, including scope and duration of warranties, in contracts.
For this bill of sale to be legally valid:
Common mistakes to avoid:
Uniform Plumbing Code (UPC)
A model code adopted by various states to regulate the standards for plumbing installation and maintenance.
Enforced by International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials (IAPMO)
State Building Codes
These codes govern construction practices, including plumbing. They may vary by state but commonly include standards for installation, materials, and safety.
Enforced by State-specific agencies or departments, such as the Department of Buildings or similar entities.
Clean Water Act (CWA)
A federal law that regulates the discharge of pollutants into the waters of the United States and quality standards for surface waters, impacting plumbing operations related to waste disposal.
Enforced by Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)

Yes, it includes a robust 'Warranties and Disclaimers' clause. By selling the equipment in 'as-is' condition, you mitigate risks associated with future water damage or failure of fixtures, provided you disclose any known material defects as required by the Michigan Consumer Protection Act.
While not always mandated for small tools, Michigan law often requires notarization or witness verification for high-value asset transfers or vehicles to ensure the document is self-authenticating and enforceable in state courts under the Statute of Frauds (MCL 566.132).
The Bill of Sale focuses on the transfer of physical assets. However, our form includes a section for 'Seller’s Representations' where you can specify if the equipment currently meets Uniform Plumbing Code (UPC) standards or if it requires recertification, such as Backflow Prevention Certification, upon transfer.
