Florida FL Change of Vessel Application, How Does it Work?
Monday, Aug. 9th 2010 6:07 AM
If the classification of a vessel changes from recreational to commercial, or from commercial to recreational, and the vessel has a current registration, the owner must forward a completed Form HSMV 87015 and the certificate of registration along with applicable service fees to the county tax collector.
Upon receipt of a properly documented request, the county will issue a replacement registration which depicts the new classification of the vessel. If a non-exempted vessel owned by a non-resident or alien changes from recreational to commercial then an additional $50 commercial vessel fee is required.
