Sell your car in Davie: running, retired from work or dead in the yard
Davie's code lets a commercial vehicle stay on a residential lot only if someone who lives there regularly uses it, and not at all if it's a trailer, box truck, panel truck or step van. To sell a work van or a car that died in the yard, get a cash offer online from our buying partner, and free pickup comes out to it.

Sec. 12-33(G): the tests for a work vehicle at a Davie home
Davie's land development code keeps commercial vehicles and construction equipment out of residentially zoned districts except as paragraph (G) of Sec. 12-33 allows (Davie Land Development Code). On a home lot, that comes down to three questions.
- Does someone who lives there use it regularly? A commercial vehicle may be parked or stored on a residential lot only if a resident of that lot regularly uses it (Sec. 12-33(G)).
- What kind of vehicle is it? It can't be a trailer, box truck, panel truck or step van, and it can't carry a hydraulic lift, boom, hoist or tow equipment of any kind (Sec. 12-33(G)).
- Moving it to the street doesn't help. The ban covers the whole residentially zoned district, and even where paragraph (G) allows a commercial vehicle on a residential right-of-way, one parked or stored there for more than seven consecutive days is in violation (Sec. 12-33(G)).
If one of those answers goes against you, ask for an offer and name the body type in the description. Asking is free, carries no obligation, and you have a week to accept.
Where we pick up around Davie
Free pickup reaches every Davie address and the rest of Broward County, out to wherever the vehicle sits on the lot. For anything bigger than a car, say what it is when you book.
Fees differ by counter. FLHSMV marks the Pembroke Pines and Hollywood motor vehicle offices as license plate agents, which may charge additional fees, while the Plantation center is tax collector-sponsored and adds a tax collector service fee (FLHSMV).
Cash for your car in Davie
The nuisance paragraph of the same Sec. 12-33 counts keeping abandoned, discarded or unused objects or equipment on a property as a nuisance, and its list of examples begins with automobiles, boats, trucks and buses (Davie Land Development Code). A car nobody drives anymore is, in the code's word, unused.
That kind of car can still get an offer where it sits: our junk car page covers one that doesn't start or is missing parts, and pickup hauls it from the yard. For the scrap side of the number, what a junk car is worth starts from the vehicle's weight, and when to stop repairing an old car helps if you're weighing one more repair.
A car that sat in standing water
Rainfall ran 50 to 80% above normal over most of metro Broward County in 2023, the National Weather Service's Miami office reported, and on November 15 and 16 that year, rain totals of up to 8 to 12 inches caused flash flooding in sections of Broward and Miami-Dade (NWS Miami).
Water inside a car changes what it's worth and what a buyer needs to hear from you. Selling a flood-damaged car explains what the damage does to the price.
No office in Davie itself: where Davie title work goes
- •FLHSMV's Broward list has no office in Davie, so title and tag work means a counter in another city, such as Plantation, Pembroke Pines or Hollywood (FLHSMV)
- •Plantation, 1800 NW 66th Ave., Suite 101: the county tax collector-sponsored center, which makes it Broward's county tax collector's office (the local DMV) on the list. Weekdays 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., with title services ending at 4:30 p.m. (FLHSMV)
- •Pembroke Pines, 294 S. Flamingo Road: motor vehicle services only, weekdays 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. (FLHSMV)
- •Hollywood, 3387 Sheridan St.: weekdays 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and the one of these three with Saturday hours, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. (FLHSMV)
Asked by Davie sellers
Can I park my tow truck at my Davie house between jobs?
Not on a residential lot. Sec. 12-33(G) rules out a commercial vehicle equipped with tow equipment of any kind, along with trailers, box trucks, panel trucks, step vans and vehicles with a hydraulic lift, boom or hoist (Davie Land Development Code).
Is there a DMV office in Davie?
Not on FLHSMV's Broward list (FLHSMV). The tax collector-sponsored center in Plantation handles titles until 4:30 p.m. on weekdays, and the plate agents at 294 S. Flamingo Road in Pembroke Pines and 3387 Sheridan St. in Hollywood do motor vehicle work too.
Can I keep a car that doesn't run in my Davie backyard?
The town's nuisance paragraph is the rule to know: keeping abandoned, discarded or unused objects or equipment on a property falls under it, and automobiles head its list (Sec. 12-33). Selling it settles the question, and pickup takes it from the backyard.
