In Florida, the standard statutory release form found in Chapter 713 of the Florida Statutes primarily releases lien rights up to the present date, with the effective date determined by the through date. It's important to recognize that a lien release can also release other rights beyond lien claims.
When an electronic lien is satisfied, a lien satisfaction will be sent electronically to FLHSMV. The title will then remain electronic until a request for paper title is received. Owners with e-titles can request a paper title through the FLHSMV's MyDMV Portal website.
In Florida, a vehicle cannot be legally sold in a private sale if there is an existing lien. For the vehicle to be legally sold, the lien must first be satisfied. Once the lienholder reports to FLHSMV that the lien has been satisfied, the title can be transferred.
The owner of a motor vehicle or mobile home upon which a lien has been filed with the department or noted upon a certificate of title for a period of 5 years may apply to the department in writing for such lien to be removed from the department files or from the certificate of title.
To remove a recorded lien, complete the lien satisfaction section on the front of the certificate of title or form Lien Satisfaction – HSMV 82260.
