Because Florida is a title state, you must obtain a Florida title Certificate for vehicles and boats. The County Tax Collector's office submits and application to the State for a Florida title when you apply for your vehicle tags or boat registration. The Florida Title Certificate is then mailed to you once the title information has been processed. Any liens or chattel mortgages on vehicles and boats are noted on the certificate. The state of Florida does not impose a personal income tax.
