Florida Vehicle Registration & Title Fees by County (2026)
Florida's title and registration fees are the same statewide — what changes by county is the discretionary sales surtax on a vehicle purchase, which ranges from 0% (Collier) to 1.5% (Hillsborough, Duval, Marion, Osceola). Because the surtax only applies to the first $5,000 of the price, it adds at most $25–$75. Find your county below.

Frequently asked questions
Do Florida car registration fees vary by county?
The base title ($77.25–$85.25), registration, and plate fees are set statewide by FLHSMV — they're the same in all 67 counties. What varies is the discretionary sales surtax on a vehicle purchase (0% to 1.5%, applied to the first $5,000) and small tax-collector service fees.
How much is the Florida sales tax on a car?
6% state sales tax on the full purchase price, plus your county's discretionary surtax on the first $5,000 only. So the surtax adds at most $25–$75 depending on the county — Collier County adds nothing.
Which Florida county is cheapest to register a car?
On the surtax, Collier County (0%) is cheapest, followed by the 0.5% counties (Palm Beach, Orange, Lee, Volusia). The base state fees are identical everywhere.
