Selling a junk car in Florida: title & DMV rules
Florida requires a title in your name to transfer a junk vehicle, including a scrap sale from a Melbourne driveway.
- If the title is missing
- Florida does not normally require a bonded title for a junk sale. A duplicate title (HSMV 82101 (Duplicate Title) / HSMV 82042 (Certificate of Destruction)) or, for scrap-only sales, a licensed-recycler affidavit is the usual route. The duplicate-title paperwork in Florida is HSMV 82101 (Duplicate Title) / HSMV 82042 (Certificate of Destruction).
- License plates
- Remove your plate — Florida plates stay with the owner and must be transferred or surrendered to FLHSMV.
- Notice of sale / release of liability
- File the Notice of Sale (HSMV 82050) with FLHSMV within 30 days of the sale.
- What Florida salvage buyers must do
- Florida licensed salvage buyers can accept a vehicle on a Certificate of Destruction (HSMV 82042) when the owner cannot produce a title. A duplicate title via HSMV 82101 is the simplest route for running cars.
- Sign the seller assignment on the title
- Complete the odometer disclosure
- Handle plates as FL requires
- File the notice of sale, then cancel insurance
