The Following Items are Required to Renew:

Florida Law requires vehicle tags and registrations to be renewed before they expired. They are:

  • Previous registration or registration renewal notice
  • Current proof of Florida Property Damage and Personal Injury Protection insurance issued by a Florida agent or broker

A penalty fee will be charged upon late renewal if you fail to renew your vehicle tag and registration before the 11th day of the month following its expiration. It is a violation of the law to operate a vehicle on Florida’s roadways without a current license plate and current registration.

Lost/Stolen Tags

If your tag/decal has been lost or stolen, contact your local law enforcement agency to report it prior to completing an application for a replacement. After, submit it to the Tax Collector.

Application for Replacement

Low Speed Vehicles

In the state of Florida, low speed vehicles (LSV) must be registered, titled and insured with personal injury protection (PIP) and property damage liability (PDL) insurance. LSV is a vehicle with a top speed greater than 20 MPH, but not greater than 25 MPH. Any person operating an LSV must have a valid driver license. LSVs may only be operated on streets where the posted speed limit is 35 MPH or less.

View more information on safety requirements as well as instructions on how to register and title LSVs by clicking below.

Information and Instructions on Owning LSV’s

Florida’s Speciality License Plates

The state of Florida currently offers various specialty license plates. These plates display unique designs and were created to honor the plate holder and/or benefit a specific organization. There are additional fees associated, which vary based on the specialty plate.

Courtesy of Renewal Notices

Please note that Florida law does not provide for vehicle registration renewal notices and failure to receive a renewal notice by mail. The Martin County Tax Collector provides renewal notices as a courtesy to resident vehicle owners. The courtesy renewal notices are mailed approximately three months prior to the birth month or month in which the renewal is due. This notice does not relieve the vehicle owner of the responsibility to renew their vehicle registration and license plate in a timely manner.

The cost of renewing your registration and tag varies according to the make and model of the vehicle as well as the type of tag you have chosen to display on your vehicle.

Warning:

You will be subject to a traffic citation if caught by law enforcement after your birthday or the renewal due date with an expired tag. Those caught driving their vehicle with an expired registration or tag for six months or longer are subject to a second-degree misdemeanor conviction.
