Miami-Dade County Tax Collector to Accept Applications for New License Plate Agencies

The Miami-Dade County Tax Collector's Office announced today that it will begin accepting applications for new License Plate Agencies (LPAs) beginning July 1, 2026.  

License Plate Agencies operate under agreement with the Tax Collector and provide motor vehicle services to the public, helping expand access to registration, title, and related services throughout Miami-Dade County.   

The solicitation represents the first formal opportunity for the establishment of new License Plate Agencies in Miami-Dade County in more than two decades. The initiative is intended to support continued population growth, improve customer accessibility, and enhance the availability of motor vehicle services throughout the community.   

Over the years, multiple governmental reviews and planning efforts have examined the need for additional service capacity and expanded public access to motor vehicle services as Miami-Dade County's population has continued to grow. The Tax Collector's Office has incorporated those considerations into the development of this solicitation process and the evaluation of future service opportunities.   

"This initiative is focused on ensuring residents have convenient access to essential motor vehicle services while maintaining the high standards of customer service, accountability, and operational excellence expected by the public," said Miami-Dade County Tax Collector Dariel Fernandez.  

Interested applicants will be required to demonstrate financial capacity, operational readiness, business experience, and a proposed service location capable of meeting the needs of the communities they intend to serve. Applicants will also be required to submit a business plan and a geographic need statement describing the public benefit of the proposed location.   

Applications will undergo an administrative review and evaluation by an internal Selection Committee. Qualified applicants will participate in a mandatory interview process before recommendations are presented to the Tax Collector for final consideration.
