How Florida title transfer fees are calculated
Transferring a vehicle title in Florida involves the state title fee plus several tax components. The title certificate fee of $75.25 is fixed statewide. On top of that, Florida charges 6% sales tax on the taxable purchase price (purchase price minus any trade-in credit). Your county adds a local option surtax, which varies from 0.5% to 1.5% and is capped at $5,000.
Florida also charges a documentary stamp tax — $0.70 for every $100 of the purchase price. This applies to all vehicle sales and is often overlooked by first-time buyers.
If you want your title delivered as a physical paper document, add $2.50 for mailing. Need the title the same day? Fast title service adds $10.
