In this article, we show that if a semi-Riemannian space form carries a conformal vector field $V$ of which the tangential part $V^T$ on a connected hypersurface $M^n$ becomes a conformal vector field and the normal part $V^N$ on $M^n$ does not vanish identically, then $M^n$ is totally umbilic. Furthermore, we give a complete description of conformal vector fields on semi-Riemannian space forms.
Keywords: totally umbilic hypersurface, space form, conformal vector field
