No, you do not have to pay any sales tax if you gift a car to your daughter in Florida. Gift transfers of vehicles are exempt from Florida sales tax, provided that the parties involved are related up to the third degree of consanguinity or affinity, which includes parents and children, or grandchildren.

To complete the gifting process, you must complete a Application for Certificate of Title/Registration form (HSMV 82040), have it signed and notarized, and submit it along with the vehicle's title, a completed Bill of Sale (HSMV 82050), and any required fees to the local Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (DHSMV) service center.

It is important to note that the recipient must pay applicable documentary stamp taxes and registration fees.
