Florida HSMV Form 82994 – Dealer Title Reassignment

What Is Florida HSMV Form 82994?

HSMV 82994 is a secure reassignment document used exclusively by licensed Florida motor vehicle dealers. It allows dealers to reassign a certificate of title (or Manufacturer’s Certificate of Origin) and complete the required odometer disclosure when the usual spaces on the title itself are insufficient or unavailable.

According to the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, the form is required in specific situations involving both paper and electronic titles. The original completed form must accompany the application for title, while the dealer retains a copy for five years.

The online PDF is clearly marked “Sample only — do not fill out.” Using a printed copy of the sample for an actual transaction will result in rejection by the tax collector or FLHSMV.

When Must Dealers Use HSMV Form 82994?

Florida law and FLHSMV procedures require the use of Form 82994 in the following circumstances:

• With conforming Florida Certificates of Title when all reassignment and odometer disclosure spaces on the reverse side have already been used.
• With non-conforming Certificates of Title (Florida or out-of-state) to make reassignments and odometer disclosures.
• With a conforming Manufacturer’s Certificate of Origin (MCO) when the MCO is not available at the time of sale.
• With all out-of-state non-conforming Certificates of Title for dealer reassignments and odometer disclosures.
• When ownership is being transferred on an Electronic Certificate of Title.

Important note from the form instructions: This form should not be used when a private owner is transferring ownership on a vehicle that does not have an electronic title. In those cases, the “Transfer of Title By Seller” section on the paper title must be completed instead.

Key Sections of the Form

Although the public sample cannot be used for transactions, understanding its structure helps dealers prepare accurate information. Typical sections include:

• Vehicle Description – Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), year, make, body type, and model.
• Title Information – Title number, state of issue, or indication that it is a Manufacturer’s Statement or Certificate of Origin. A yes/no question for electronic title status.
• Reassignment Information – Name of seller/dealer, FEID number, dealer/auction license number, address, selling price (if applicable), sales tax collected, and sales tax registration number.
• Purchaser Information – Printed names and addresses of purchaser(s) and co-purchaser(s), date of sale.
• Odometer Disclosure Statement – Current mileage reading (no tenths), certification that the reading reflects actual mileage, exceeds mechanical limits, or is not the actual mileage, plus signatures of seller(s)/agent and purchaser(s).

Any alteration or erasure may void the assignment and all subsequent assignments. Federal law imposes significant penalties for providing false odometer information.

Filing and Record-Keeping Requirements

FLHSMV procedures are clear on how the form must be handled:

1. The original HSMV 82994 must be surrendered with the application for title (attached to the certificate of title or MCO).
2. The copy must be retained by the dealer in their records for a period of five (5) years. Individual sellers are also encouraged to keep a copy.

If a dealer sells a vehicle to an out-of-state resident or out-of-state dealer and the form applies, the dealer must photocopy the complete original form and mail it directly to the Division of Motorist Services within five business days after delivering the title and form to the purchaser.

How Licensed Dealers Obtain the Secure Form?

Because HSMV 82994 is a secure document printed on special paper with security features, it is not available for free public download or printing. Licensed dealers typically obtain supplies through:

• Local county tax collector offices
• Authorized FLHSMV dealer service channels or warehouse order forms (many counties provide specific order forms for 82994 and the related 82995 Power of Attorney form)
• Direct contact with the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles Dealer Services section

Always verify the most current ordering process with your local tax collector or the official FLHSMV website, as procedures can be updated.

Related Forms Dealers Should Know

Form 82994 often works alongside other FLHSMV documents:

• HSMV 82040 (MV, MH, or VS versions) – Application for Certificate of Title
• HSMV 82091 – Reassignment Supplement to a Certificate of Title (primarily for odometer-exempt vehicles)
• HSMV 82092 – Reassignment Document for an Electronic Certificate of Title (for certain exempt vehicles)
• HSMV 82995 – Motor Vehicle Power of Attorney/Odometer Disclosure (secure form)
• HSMV 82993 – Separate Odometer Disclosure Statement and Acknowledgment

Using the correct form for the specific situation prevents delays and rejections at the tax collector’s office.

Why Accurate Use of Form 82994 Matters?

Proper completion of the Motor Vehicle Dealer Title Reassignment Supplement protects both the dealer and the buyer. It creates a clear chain of ownership, satisfies federal odometer disclosure rules, and helps prevent title fraud. Errors, missing information, or use of non-secure versions can lead to rejected title applications, delays in registration, and potential compliance issues.

Dealers should train staff on the exact situations that require HSMV 82994 and maintain a ready supply of the secure forms. Regular review of the latest FLHSMV Motor Vehicle Procedure Manual (particularly TL-09 and related title procedures) is recommended.
