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:

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.
