Car insurance in Broward County
Registering a car in Broward County goes through the Broward County Tax Collector. You’ll need Florida PIP and property damage on the car first.
Registering a car
Registration and plates are handled by the Broward County Tax Collector. New residents must register within 10 days of becoming a Florida resident, with proof of Florida insurance. A car that has never been registered in Florida also needs a VIN verification.
What to have before you go
- Proof of Florida insurance (your ID card or declarations page)
- The title, or the lender’s name and address if the car is financed
- A Florida driver license or other ID
- For out-of-state cars: the VIN verification form, completed by an authorized official
Keep the insurance active
Florida requires PIP and property damage for as long as the car has an active registration. If the insurance is canceled and the plate isn’t turned in, the state can suspend your license and registration until you show new coverage and pay a reinstatement fee.
