New bills will soon be coming to dealers from DMV if you requested inquiries through one of the temp tag or EFS providers and the inquiry was not part of a title or registration transaction.
Legislation approved in Florida in January, 2011 allows DMV to collect $.50 per transaction when inquiries are performed that do not result in a title or registration at DMV. These inquiries were free before 2011 and now the DMV is tallying what dealers will owe them – 9 months after the fact! FADA is working to reduce this backlog of charges.
