Non-residents must register their motorcycles in Florida if they engage in a trade or occupation or are employed in Florida or their children attend public schools in Florida.

Non-resident exemptions may be applied to college or university students who are in Florida for less than six months in an accredited work-study program recognized by the State of Florida, or to any non-resident enrolled as a full-time student in a Florida institution of higher learning, or to recreational vehicles not located in Florida for at least six consecutive months.

Florida law requires motorcycle tags and registrations to be renewed before they expire. Florida motorcycle registrations and tags (license plates) expire as follows:

For motorcycles owned by individuals, the expiration date is the birthday of the first owner listed on the registration;
For company owned motorcycles, the expiration date is June 30^th;

To renew, the following items are required:

Your previous registration or registration renewal notice.

If you fail to renew your motorcycle tag and registration before the 11th day of the month following its expiration, a penalty fee will be charged upon late renewal. Also, it is a violation of the law to operate a motorcycle on Florida's roadways without a current registration and license plate.

Please note that Florida law does not provide for vehicle registration renewal notices and failure to receive a renewal notice by mail does not relieve the vehicle owner of the their responsibility to timely renew their vehicle registration and license plate.

The Tax Collector does, however, provide renewal notices as a courtesy to resident vehicle owners. The courtesy renewal notices are mailed approximately 3 weeks prior to the birth month or month in which the renewal is due.

Vehicle registration and tag renewals may be conducted at one of the Tax Collector's Branch and/or Tag Offices:

Tax Collector's Offices

Lakeland Branch

Lake Wales Branch

Haines City Branch

Renewal transactions may also be conducted Online at this web site.
