Titles:

A certificate of title is the proof of ownership to a motor vehicle in the state of Florida.  When you purchase a new motor vehicle, bring a motor vehicle into the state, or at any time the ownership of the motor vehicle changes, you must transfer ownership into your name.  The application for title, along with all required documents and fees, can be processed at any Tax Collector's Office or Private Branch Auto Tag Agency.

Registrations:

Motor vehicles, vessels, mobile homes and trailers are issued registrations to prove that license taxes and fees for the current registration period have been paid.  Registrations may consist of a license plate, a decal, and a registration certificate and are to remain with the registered owner.  If you are moving to Florida, you must register your vehicle in Florida within ten (10) days of establishing residency.  Registrations can be purchased from any Tax Collector's Office or Private Branch Auto Tag Agency.

Disabled Person Parking Permits:

Disabled person parking permits are issued to persons who have been medically certified to have long-term, permanent or temporary mobility impairment, or who are certified legally blind or temporarily sight-impaired.  In addition, disabled person parking permits may be issued to organizations that provide transportation services to disabled persons.

The disabled person parking permit must be hung on the rearview mirror of the vehicle used to transport the disabled person(s), when parked in a designated disabled person parking space.  Disabled person parking permits can be purchased from any Tax Collector's Office or Private Branch Auto Tag Agency.
