Automobile Gift Transfers


Whether you’re giving the car to a family member or a stranger off the street, the procedure is 
the same. There is no sales tax on gift transfers.

1    Fill out a bill of sale as proof that this was a gift.

2    On the back of the title, have the owner fill out the odometer reading. Where it says sales 
     price, write “gift.”

3    Both of you sign and date the title.

4    Take your insurance card or a Florida insurance affidavit in to a tax collector's office.

5    Pay the fees.

6    Take your ID and register your car, too.
