What does it involve selling a MH in Florida by owner? Do we charge sales tax? Anything that we should be aware of? Thank you

If you reselling JUST the manufactured home, with out land then the state expects sales tax to be paid. If you are a private seller you need to sign over the title to the buyer and when he goes to register the home he will have to pay the sales tax. When the sale is by a licensed dealer the dealer must collect and pay the tax.
