Nonresident Military Registrations |
|
|
|
|
Under
the Soldiers' and Sailors' Relief Act of 1940, members of the United States Armed Forces
while stationed in our state in compliance with military or naval orders are not required
to register their motor vehicles in our state. The sevice member may display their current
license plate form their home state or they may choose to register their vehicle in
Florida. |
|
|
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 |
| Application

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. |
