Hello Motor Vehicle, Mobile Home, and Vessel Dealers! We know the car biz can be a puzzle sometimes, and that's why we've put together some easy tips to help you handle title changes like a pro. These steps will make your work smoother, keep everything in order, and ensure that you follow Florida's rules and federal laws.
- Finish Title Changes Right: Before you use Form HSMV 82994, make sure all the dealer changes on your Florida Certificate of Title are done properly. No quick switches from the original title, even if you're working with a floor planner. Missing steps can mess up your title application.
- Give Accurate Info: When you're updating your Florida Certificate of Title, give all the right info – names, addresses, the whole deal. But if you're an auction, just share your name and license number on the back.
- Dealers in a Row: If another dealer goes back to the old title in the same chain of events, the first Florida dealer should get their own title first. No cutting in line!
- Out-of-State, No Problem: Out-of-state dealers not following the rules? Don't worry about it. You don't have to reject customer paperwork if they're from out of state.
- Keep the Title Chain Going: Once your Florida dealership has the title, keep the good times rolling with more dealer changes. Use Form HSMV 82994 or Form HSMV 82091 (for special cases) to keep the title moving.
- Dealing with Other States: If you're passing a title from Florida to Florida but it's from another state and says "Reassignment By [State] Dealer," just go with it. But if it's a different kind of title, stick with Form HSMV 82994.
By following these tips, you'll be a title pro in no time!
