As an Ohio plumbing company owner, your tools—from backflow preventers to drain line cameras—represent your livelihood. Transferring ownership requires more than a handshake; you need a document that addresses toxic liabilities like water damage and code violations while complying with Ohio Rev. Code § 1335.05. This Bill of Sale ensures that 'as-is' clauses are explicitly stated to mitigate future warranty claims and that specific plumbing certifications, like backflow prevention, are accounted for during the transfer of high-value diagnostic or specialized rough-in equipment.
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)
Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA)

Yes, under Ohio Rev. Code § 1335.05 (Statute of Frauds), any sale of goods exceeding $500 must be in writing to be legally enforceable. For plumbing owners, this is critical when selling high-value items like jetters or entire fixture inventories.
Your Bill of Sale must include an 'As-Is' disclaimer and a clear 'Warranties and Disclaimers' clause. This informs the buyer that you are not liable for fixture failures or water damage occurring after the transfer of ownership.
Absolutely. To comply with 'Description of the Item Sold' requirements and avoid disputes, you must list specific identifiers for items like pipe threaders, RIDGID cameras, or specialty pressing tools to confirm exactly what property was transferred.
Yes. Because Ohio has unique municipal income tax laws and specific commercial regulations, documenting the exact purchase price helps both parties manage their tax obligations and depreciation schedules for business equipment.
