NOTE:A Delinquent fee is charged if the registration is not renewed by the 10th of the month following expiration. Additional fees will be added for mail, telephone, or internet renewals. Or, if you are renewing by internet, you must either have the PIN number from your Registration Renewal Card or your License Plate number, date of birth of owner, or expiration date of registration. When renewing by telephone, you must have the PIN number from your Registration Renewal Card. You may also renew by telephone or on the internet. You may renew your license plate registration in person at the Tax Collector's Office or by mailing the registration card to the Tax Collector with your check or money order. You should receive these card(s) 4 to 6 weeks before your birth month. License plates, decals and registration receipts can be mailed to the vehicle owner for a small fee added to the annual rate.Īfter the initial registration of the vehicle, you may receive a courtesy reminder to renew the license plate. Some county Tax Collectors provide a renewal notice that reminds the customer to renew his or her registration each year. Registration renewal notices are NOT required by state or federal law. Rates are determined by vehicle weight for vehicles and by length for mobile homes, which are due annually by December 31st. The exceptions to this schedule are: company owned and short-termed lease vehicles are renewed in June truck-tractors, semi-trailers, trucks weighing over 5000 pounds and nine-passenger seating and over vehicles for hire are renewed in December. Registration is renewed annually during the owner's birth month and expires at midnight on the owner's birthday. The owner will receive a new plate (with new numbers and letters) during the tenth year. The plate is issued to the owner for ten years. The license plate is displayed on the rear of the vehicle with the exception of certain commercial vehicles. The renewal sticker denoting the owner's birth month and expiration date is placed in the upper right hand corner of the license plate.

Florida uses a metal license plate with the alpha numeric system, meaning there are combinations of letters and numbers used for identification.
