Have you ever thought that moving to a new state means a long, hard process to register your car?
Many people think it is very hard, but it does not have to be that way in Broward County. In fact, with the right help, your out-of-state car registration can be a smooth and easy success.
Here is a simple guide to help you through the steps.
Why You Need a Car Registration in Broward County
When you move to Broward County, Florida, you must register your car within 30 days of making Florida your home. This rule helps the state keep track of cars and drivers.
It also makes sure you have the right Florida auto insurance. You need to get insurance from a company that works in Florida. This step is very important because you cannot register your car without proof of insurance.
What You Need for Your Broward County Car Registration
Before you can register your car in Broward County, gather these important documents:
• Proof of Ownership
This is the original title from the state where your car was first registered. If your car has a lien and the title is with a bank or finance company, the local office can help you get the title transferred.
• Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) Verification
Your car must get a VIN check. This check can be done by a police officer, a notary public, a licensed motor vehicle dealer in Florida, or a county tax collector employee. They will complete a special form (Form HSMV 82042) to prove your car’s VIN is correct. Note that at Broward Autos, we can help you deal with all these without you going through all that stress.
• Completed Application for Title and Registration
You need to fill out Form HSMV 82040. This form must have the signatures of everyone who owns the car.
• Personal Identification: Bring a valid driver’s license or state ID to prove who you are.
When you have all your papers ready, we can now talk about the fees you will need to pay.
Car Registration Fees in Broward County
There are quite a number of fees you’ll pay in this County.
There is a fee of $77.25 for an electronic title. There is also a one-time initial registration fee of $225 for first-time Florida vehicle registration.
In addition, there are fees for your license plate and your registration. The registration fee depends on the weight of your car:
Cars under 2,500 pounds usually cost about $27.60
Cars between 2,500 and 3,499 pounds are about $35.60
Cars that are 3,500 pounds or more will cost around $45.60.
Another important point is about sales tax. If you have owned your car for less than six months, Florida may add a sales tax when you register your vehicle. But if you have paid a sales tax in another state, you might be able to use that as proof and pay less or none at all.
One good thing about Florida is that there are no emissions tests or regular safety inspections needed for car registration. This makes the process even easier for you.
