Registration in Fl. Help me get on the road

[Ronbo]

Form TL-41 (application for title) found here...

DMV Procedures Manual - Title and Lien

And a form 8240 for sales tax paid/due

DMV Procedures Manual - Forms

The vehicle will need to be inspected by one of the folks at the DMV for safety requirements. (air bags are listed on the 41 form, but it doesn't say they're required) The form also states you must produce receipts for all major components. (engine, trans, and body/frame)

The person will likely be overwhelmed by the car anyway and won't notice this...

As to the question of sales tax, in Florida (like most states) it's sales/use tax (which ever they can get you for) and any out of state purchases must be claimed and you pay any difference in tax. ie: you buy a transmission in another state and pay 4% tax on it, you then are supposed to pay the additional 2% to FL.

This is only enforced on businesses and major purchases as the state never audits individuals. They can (and do) catch you during the titleing process, but don't go after everyone getting stuff through mail order.

BTW form 83045 looks interesting...
