TAGSWhat it is
If your commercial vehicle never leaves Florida, you do not need IRP registration: a Florida local tag (intrastate registration) is sufficient, and it is a simpler, lower-cost filing.
Local tags suit delivery trucks, dump trucks, tow trucks and fleets operating within the metropolitan area. Before filing, we confirm whether your operation calls for a local tag or whether apportioned registration is the better fit.

Frequently asked questions
What if I leave Florida with a local tag?
You will need a temporary trip permit. If you travel out of state regularly, apportioned plates are the better option.
Can I switch from a local tag to apportioned plates?
Yes. We file the IRP registration and the plate is replaced. We will advise you on when the change makes sense.
Do you register trailers as well?
Yes. Trailer and semi-trailer registration is filed separately from the power unit.
Do I need Form 2290 for a local tag?
Only if the vehicle weighs 55,000 lbs or more. Below that weight it is not required.
