Mobile / Manufactured Home Registrations
Registrations are renewed annually and expire December 31st unless the mobile home is classified as Real Property by the Property Appraiser.
Florida law does not provide for mobile / manufactured home registration renewal notices, although the Tax Collector of Indian River County does mail out courtesy renewal notices. These courtesy renewal notices are mailed 4 weeks prior to the month in which the registration expires, from data compiled by the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles.

-
Previous registration, registration renewal notice, or last mobile / manufactured home decal number.
-
Physical site address of the mobile / manufactured home.
-
If renewing in the Tax Collector’s office, in order to accept payments by check or credit card, identification is required by check presenter or card holder.
-
Renewals may be made at the Tax Collector’s office or online on this web site.
Registrations for initial, renewal, duplicate/replacement mobile / manufactured home can be obtained at the Tax Collector’s office.
