Used Vessel Purchase - Florida Title


 

To transfer ownership of a vessel previously titled in Florida, purchased from a dealer or individual you must bring the following to any Tax Collector’s office:

  1. The Florida title properly completed by both the buyer and seller, including signatures, purchase price and date of sale. If the used vessel is purchased through a dealer, the dealer reassignment must be completed. If recording a lien, the lienholders name, address and the date of lien are required.

  2. 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.

  3. 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 a certified copy of the original signed appointment must be presented at time of application.

  4. Applicant’s date of birth and Florida driver license number are recorded as part of the application.

  5. Title fees of $5.75 plus registration fees* are due upon application. If the lien is applicable, please add $1.00.

For an estimate of fees, please try our sales tax & title calculator* or contact our office.
