What is the best way to renew my heavy truck registration/decal?

This answer has been viewed 575 times and was last updated on 07/02/2020.

Avoid standing in line, and save time and gas – use our online registration renewal service (subject to eligibility). Heavy trucks (weighing more than 5,000 pounds) can be renewed as early as September 1 for the December 31 expiration and February 1 for the May 31 expiration. It's not necessary to wait for your reminder notice to renew. You can also renew by mail, which costs less than renewing in person.

For additional information on heavy truck registration renewals, read our heavy truck FAQ.

Out-of-county residents needing to process title and/or registration transactions for vehicles, boats, and mobile homes can only be served at First Manatee South County Tag Agency, located at 5756 14th Street West, Bradenton. For details on that location, including the services available, read our First Manatee South County Tag Agency FAQ.
