Mobile Homes

All mobile homes in Florida must be registered. A numbered decal is issued for identification. State statutes require mobile home registrations be renewed annually by December 31, if the owner does not own the land the mobile home is located. A delinquent fee is charged if the registration is not renewed by the 10th of the following month.

If the mobile home owner owns the land in which the mobile home is located, permanent real property decals are issued and the mobile home is assessed on the real estate tax roll.

Annual registration fees are set by the State of Florida and are based on the length of the mobile home. Double wide and triple wide mobile homes are considered two and three separate units respectively, and the owner must purchase that many decals. Mobile home owners are required to display the decal in a window clearly visible from the road in front of the home.

To register a mobile home, the owner must present to the Tax Collector's Office 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)

2.) the title to the mobile home (if financed, the owner must obtain a copy from the lien holder) if the Registration Certificate is not available

3.) the title (from Florida or any other state) signed off by the previous owner if it has not been transferred into the current owner's name and the bill of sale (the Tax Office will process the transfer).
