If the service member chooses to register their vehicle in Florida, the law allows an exemption from the registration taxes on vehicles. Members are not required to title their vehicle in Florida but it is optional | ||

The VIN (vehicle identification number) and odometer reading must be verified. The Tax Collector’s staff can do the verification at the time of title application. If the vehicle will not be available to take to the Tax Collector’s Office, you can get state form 82040 and have the vehicle inspected by a law enforcement officer, military police, a Florida notary, DMV inspector, or a Florida licensed car dealer. The form is available in the Tax Collector’s Office. | ||
