Mobile Home Registration Requirements

In Florida, all mobile homes must be titled and registered and have a current decal visibly displayed for identification at all times; even if the mobile home is unoccupied. Registration fees, set set by the Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) with the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (DHSMV), are based on the length of the mobile home. Double-wide and triple-wide units are considered two and three separate units respectively and each unit must have a decal.

To register a mobile home, the owner must present to the Tax Collector's Office one of the following documents:

1. The current or last issued Florida Vehicle Registration Certificate for the mobile home (if lost, furnish the most current decal number or vehicle identification number).

2. The title to the mobile home when the owner's name appears on the title, (if financed, the owner must obtain a copy from the lien holder) if the Registration Certificate is not available.

3. The title to the mobile home (from Florida or any other state) signed off by the previous owner and the bill of sale, if the owner's name does not appear on the title.
