New Vessel Title
To register a new vessel, never before titled, you must
bring the following to any Tax Collector's office:
-
A manufacturer's Statement of Origin properly
completed, signed and either notarized or the perjury clause statement
must be signed by the selling dealer/store. If the vessel was
purchased in a state or country which does not require the issuance of a
manufacturer's certificate of origin, the original copy of the executed
bill of sale or dealer's invoice with a complete description of the vessel
will serve as proof of ownership. If recording a lien, the lien holder's
name, address and the date of lien are required.
-
Bill of sale or invoice listing the vessel purchase price,
sales tax paid and any trade-in allowance. Additional taxes equivalent to
Florida's sales tax and local sales tax may be due.
-
Each applicant, or their appointed power of attorney, must
be present to sign a new application for title. Bring personal
identification in the form of a driver license or identification card issued
by the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, a passport or a U.S.
Military I.D. card. If you are the appointed power of attorney, the original
or certified copy of the original signed appointment must be presented at
time of application.
-
Applicant's date of birth and Florida driver license number
are recorded as part of the application.
-
Title fees of $5.75 plus
registration fees* are due upon
application. If a lien is applicable, please add $1.00.
Fast Title Service is available at all Tax Collector locations. A Florida
title certificate will be issued upon request at the time of application for
an additional $5.
