How do you get your vehicle title once you pay off your loan?

I%26#039;ve paid off my vehicle. Woo hoo! I wrote a letter to the lienholder and received a notarized %26quot;lien release statement%26quot;. Then I wrote to my County Tax Assessor-Collector, who sent me an %26quot;Application for Certificate of Title%26quot; that I need to turn in with a check for $30.

But the application looks like something you%26#039;d fill out when you%26#039;re selling, trading in or donating your vehicle. I don%26#039;t want to do any of that yet 閳?I just want to have the title in my name for when I do get rid of the car in the next 12 months.

Anyone have any experience (preferably in Texas) in transferring vehicle titles? Thanks.

Congrats on having a paid-for vehicle!! Feels nice, doesn%26#039;t it?

The assessor%26#039;s office might not have understood what you wanted when you wrote to them. Your best bet is probably to go to the motor vehicle registration office at the county courthouse (take the lien release statement with you), explain your situation, and tell them what you want. They will either have you fill out the paperwork and pay the fee on the spot, or they%26#039;ll GIVE you the right stuff to fill out on your own, OR they%26#039;ll let you know if there%26#039;s nothing you need to do except wait for your new title (sans lienholder) to arrive from the state.

In any case, your answers will be at the courthouse, so go see them. Bring a book in case the line is long. :-)

oklatom, that was a good answer but I had already figured all that on my own. It%26#039;s when I got a hold of the Tax Assossor-Collector that things got confusing. Report It

In Texas, the title transfer process can vary depending on the reason the title is being transferred. But the transaction is generally handled by your local County Tax Assessor-Collectors office or one of its designees.

click there, put in your county, and find the closest office. Go there with the lien release from the loan place, and proof of insurance for the vehicle, and your check book and they will help you with the new and clear title.

Not sure in texas, but in D.C. you go to the bank (lein holder) and they will verify you have paid it off. Request that the title be sent to the bank rather than in the mail to your home address just in case it gets lost. Once it arrives at the bank, you go to pick it up and then go to dmv to transfer the title.
