INSTRUCTIONS TO HOMEMADE VESSEL TITLE APPLICANT

DEFINITION:

“Homemade Vessel” means any vessel built after October 31, 1972, for which a Federal hull identification number is not required to be assigned by the manufacturer pursuant to Federal law, or any vessel constructed or assembled prior to November 1, 1972, by other than a licensed manufacturer for his own use or the use of a specific person. A vessel assembled from a manufacturer’s kit or constructed from an unfinished manufactured hull shall be considered to be a homemade vessel, provided such a vessel is not required to have a hull identification number assigned by the United States Coast Guard. In no event shall a rebuilt or reconstructed vessel be construed to be a homemade vessel. Pursuant to s. 328.07(2), F.S., the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles shall assign all hull identification numbers for homemade vessels.

REGISTRATION AND TITLING PROCEDURES:

All undocumented homemade vessels propelled by machinery must be registered and titled in order to be operated on Florida waters. The vessel owner must file an application for registration and titling with the tax collector’s office in the county where the vessel is located or in the county where the vessel owner resides.

In applying for an initial title, the owner of a homemade vessel less than 16 feet in length shall submit to the county tax collector, Form HSMV 82040, along with a Vessel Statement of Builder and applicable title fee. Upon receipt of the application, the Department may elect to conduct a visual inspection to insure that the vessel meets the legal definition of a homemade vessel. The owner of a homemade vessel 16 feet or more in length shall be required

to contact the nearest district office of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission to arrange for a physical inspection of the vessel (http://myfwc.com/contact/staff-contacts/regional-offices/). At the time of inspection, the owner of the homemade vessel shall be required to submit a completed Vessel Statement of Builder or Builder’s Certificate to the inspecting officer. Upon completion of the inspection, the inspecting officer shall provide the owner of the homemade vessel with an executed Certificate of Inspection; form FWC/DLE126, which must be submitted to the county tax collector, along with HSMV 82040 and the Vessel Statement of Builder.
