Titles & Registration

 

General Information

  • In the State of Florida, a mobile home is required by law to be registered every year, unless the mobile home is declared as real property by the Indian River County Property Appraiser.
  • In the State of Florida, when you purchase a new mobile home, bring a mobile home into the state or at any time the ownership of the mobile home changes, you must apply for a title and registration in your name.

Mobile Home Titles

  • To title and register a mobile home in the applicant's name, please bring the following items to the Indian River County Tax Collector's Office:
    • NEW Mobile Home : the Manufacturer's Certificate of Origin completed by the selling dealer.
    • Used Mobile Home : the title properly completed for transfer by the seller, and a bill of sale from seller to purchaser.
  • Every person applying for ownership on a new or used mobile home must complete one of the following:
  • Sales tax must be paid unless the transaction is exempt. If purchased from a dealer, proof must be submitted indicating the dealer has already collected the sales tax.
  • Title application fees range from $8.25 to $60.00.

Mobile Home Duplicate Titles

* If there is an outstanding lien (i.e. finance company, lending institution, etc.), only the lien holder can apply for a duplicate title. If the lien has been satisfied, a lien satisfaction form should be presented.

  • If your title is from another state, you must apply for the duplicate title through the proper department/division of that state.
  • The fee for a Florida duplicate mobile home title is $29.25.
  • Fast Title (issued from our Main Office only) is available for an additional $7.00 for mobile home.

Mobile Home Registrations

  • Registrations are renewed annually and expire December 31 st.
  • Florida law does not provide for mobile home registration renewal notices, although the Indian River County Tax Collector does mail out courtesy renewal notices. These courtesy renewal notices are mailed 4 weeks prior to the month in which the registration expires, from data compiled by the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles.
  • Not receiving a renewal notice by mail does not relieve the mobile home owner of their responsibility to timely renew their mobile home registration.
  • In order to renew mobile home registrations, you will need the following items:
    • Previous registration, registration renewal notice, or last mobile home decal number.
    • Physical site address of mobile home.
  • Initial and renewal mobile home registrations can be obtained at the Indian River County Tax Collector’s office.
