Mobile Home, Heavy Truck Registrations Due By January 1
December 28, 2017
Escambia County residents who own mobile homes, heavy pickups, nine-passenger, for hire and commercial vehicles should renew their registrations by December 31, according to Escambia County Tax Collector Scott Lunsford.
Mobile homes taxed as real property must display a permanent RP decal. Mobile homes not taxed as real property are subject to yearly registration fees. Each section of the mobile home requires a separate registration, which must be displayed and visible from the roadway. Registration fees are based on the length of the mobile home and must be renewed by December 31. A delinquency fee will be charged if the registration is not renewed by January 10, 2018.
Florida law requires that registrations for all trucks with an empty weight of 5,000 pounds or more expire in December. The registered owner is required to declare a gross vehicle weight (GVW). Registration fees are determined by the gross vehicle weight.

If you think you might be going across the scale, FYI. The FLDOT will add the weight of your truck and trailer. The total weight of everything is what will have to be on your registration. I was pulling my trailer with a tractor on it. When I cross the scales I was fined $2,150.00. It is 5 cent a pound for every pound over what is on your registration. I found this out the hard way. I hope I might have helped someone with the information.
Check the GVW on your registration. They have mine listed as 7999 when it actually only weighs 5062. If you don’t know the weight of your vehicle and declare it, whatever they have listed is what you will be charged for. Mine is a difference of about $30. Do not use the GVWR listed on your door. That is the vehicles maximum weight limit and not the actual weight.
