Mobile Home Title Information

To issue a Florida Certificate of Title for a new or used mobile home purchased in or outside of Florida, the owner of the mobile home or their appointed Power of Attorney (POA) Form 82053, must bring the following documents into the Tax Collector’s office:

1. Proof of identification:
   • A Florida driver license or identification card
   • An out of state driver license or identification card with photo
   • A US passport
   • A Canadian driver license, identification card or passport
   • A driver license or identification card from any U.S. Territory (American Samoa, Guam, Marianas, Puerto Rico and US Virgin Islands)
   • An out of country passport


2. Proof of ownership:
   • MCO (Manufacturer’s Certificate of Origin) – initial ownership documentation on a new mobile home
   • Out of state title on a used mobile home. If the mobile home was not required to be titled, then proof of ownership is a dealer’s bill of sale or the original registration from that state and a bill of sale from the seller to the purchaser.


3. Form 82040 MH, Application for Certificate of Title with/without Registration accurately completed. The physical location of the mobile home is required for titling. If a lien is to be recorded, the lien information must be provided in the appropriate space of the Form 82040 MH. This includes the lienholder’s name, address, and federal employer’s identification (FEID) number. When an individual is the lien holder, their name, address and driver license number is required. Should the individual lienholder be from another state, a copy of their identification is required.


4. A Bill of Sale showing the purchase price, trade in allowance and sales tax paid is needed. Payment of sales tax is due at the time of application unless there is a reason for sales tax exemption. Leon County collects 6% sales tax on the total price and an additional 1.5% on the first $5,000.
