Field-by-field breakdown

What each section of HSMV 82040 asks for. JustFill’s AI will detect these fields automatically when you upload the PDF — review the breakdown below so you know what to enter.

Section 1 — Owner / Applicant information

Customer number, fleet number, full legal name(s) of owner and co-owner, date of birth, sex, Florida driver license or FEID/EIN number, residential street address, and mailing address.

Section 2 — Motor vehicle, mobile home, or vessel description

17-character VIN (or hull ID), make/manufacturer, year, body, color, Florida title number, weight/length, and vessel propulsion/fuel details.

Section 3 — Brands, usage, and type

Checkboxes for short-term lease, long-term lease, rebuilt, police vehicle, private use, taxi, flood, electric, or autonomous vehicle.

Section 4 — Lienholder information

Checks "No lien" or lists the lienholder's FEID/DL number, ELT customer number, date of lien, lienholder name, and address.

Sections 5, 6 & 7 — Transfer type, odometer declaration & dealer sales tax

How the vehicle was acquired (sale, gift, inheritance, repossession, court order), 5- or 6-digit odometer reading in whole miles, and dealer sales tax report if applicable.

Section 8 (Page 2) — Motor Vehicle Identification Number Verification

Required for vehicles not currently titled in Florida: physical inspection of the VIN signed by a law enforcement officer, Florida notary, licensed dealer, or tax collector employee.

Sections 9–12 (Page 2) — Sales tax exemption, repossession, non-use & applicant signatures

Sales tax exemption certifications (such as out-of-state ownership for 6+ months), non-use attestation, and original signatures of all applicants under penalty of perjury.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • 1Skipping Section 8 on Page 2 when bringing an out-of-state car to Florida — any motor vehicle not currently titled in Florida requires a physical VIN inspection before the title can be issued.
  • 2Checking "AND" instead of "OR" between co-owners in Section 1 without realizing the difference — "AND" requires both owners to sign any future sale or title transfer, while "OR" allows either owner to sign.
  • 3Entering tenths of a mile in Section 6 (Odometer Declaration) — Florida requires 5 or 6 whole digits only, without tenths.
  • 4Forgetting to sign Section 12 at the bottom of Page 2 — every owner and co-owner listed in Section 1 must sign Page 2 under penalty of perjury.
