Florida title & registration.

How Florida differs

Florida routes many title and registration tasks through county tax collector offices. Electronic titles are common and usually a bit cheaper and faster than paper. Sales tax and local surtax can dominate the total — not just the title fee line item.

Common fees

• Title transfer (paper) — about $77.25
• Title transfer (e-title) — about $75.25
• Sales tax — 6% statewide, plus some county surtax
• Registration — roughly $14.50–$32.50 by weight
• New plate — about $28 when needed
• Initial Florida registration — can be around $225 for first-time FL vehicles
• Late transfer — about $20 after 30 days

Special situations

• Lien satisfaction — Form HSMV 82260 from the lienholder
• Duplicate title — Form HSMV 82101 with the applicable fee
• Out-of-state titles — expect extra verification at the tax collector
