What You Need to Sell a Junk Car in Florida
Florida has specific requirements for selling a vehicle. Here's what the FLHSMV requires to sell your car in Florida.
-
Certificate of Title
Sign the back of your Florida title in the "Seller" section. Include the sale date, sale price, and odometer reading. Both seller and buyer must sign.
-
Odometer Disclosure
Required for vehicles less than 10 years old. Record the exact mileage on the title. Federal law requires accurate disclosure.
-
Notice of Sale (HSMV 82050)
File this form with the FLHSMV within 30 days of sale. This removes your name from the vehicle record and protects you from future liability.
-
Bill of Sale
Not legally required in Florida, but strongly recommended. Include the sale price, date, VIN, and both parties' information for your records.
-
Remove Your Plates
Florida plates belong to the owner, not the vehicle. Remove them before handing over the car. You can transfer them to another vehicle or surrender them to the FLHSMV.
-
Cancel Your Insurance
Contact your insurance company after the sale. In Florida, you must maintain insurance on any registered vehicle, so coordinate the timing carefully.
Florida Inspection Requirements
Florida does not require vehicle inspections or emissions testing anywhere in the state. This was discontinued statewide, making Florida one of the easiest states for selling a car.
You can sell a car in any condition without worrying about inspection stickers or emissions certificates. The buyer takes on all responsibility for the vehicle's condition after the sale.
Good News for Sellers
- No inspection required to sell
- No emissions test anywhere in FL
- Sell non-running vehicles easily
- No safety inspection needed
- Buyer handles all registration

Selling a Car in Florida: Common Questions
Sign the back of the title in the "Seller" section. Include the date of sale, sale price, and odometer reading. Both you and the buyer must sign. Give the signed title to the buyer, who takes it to a local tax collector's office to complete the transfer. File Form HSMV 82050 (Notice of Sale) within 30 days to protect yourself from future liability.
You need a title to legally transfer ownership in Florida. If you've lost yours, you can apply for a duplicate title using Form HSMV 82101 at any tax collector's office. The fee is $75.25 for a fast title (issued in a few days) or $2.50 for a regular duplicate (4-6 weeks). Licensed dealers like Clunqr can sometimes work with alternative documentation.
No. Florida does not require vehicle inspections or emissions testing anywhere in the state. You can sell a car in any condition without worrying about inspections. This makes Florida one of the easiest states for selling a car.
Form HSMV 82050 notifies the FLHSMV that you've sold the vehicle. This removes your name from the vehicle record and protects you from parking tickets, toll violations, and liability if the buyer doesn't transfer the title right away. File it online at FLHSMV.gov or at your local tax collector's office within 30 days of the sale.
It depends on the vehicle's year, make, and model, condition, resale or salvage value, weight, and current scrap metal prices. Florida has a large network of salvage yards, metal recyclers, and car buyers, which helps keep prices competitive. Most junk cars sell for $200 to $1,500, while vehicles with valuable parts or those that still drive can sell for up to $5,000. Get an instant quote from Clunqr to see your car's actual value.
Yes. In Florida, license plates belong to the owner, not the vehicle. Remove your plates before handing over the car. You can transfer them to another vehicle you own at any tax collector's office, or surrender them if you no longer need them. Never let the buyer drive away with your plates.
