The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission has established a hotline for reporting displaced vessels still on Florida state waters because of Hurricane Ian. The FWC and partner agencies are working with vessel owners to remove or relocate these vessels.
Report displaced or damaged vessels by calling the Hurricane Ian Vessel Hotline at 850-488-5600, 8 am-5 p., Monday-Friday. Callers will be asked to provide the vessel’s registration number, current location and detailed description.
Vessel owners are encouraged to hire a salvage company to recover their vessel to provide the safest method possible for the vessel and the environment. Owners of vessels that have become derelict have 45 days from the day the hurricane passed over the state to either remove their boats from waters of the state or bring it into a non-derelict condition.
Owners of displaced vessels who lack the resources to have their boat repaired, or if their vessel is determined to be beyond repair, may release ownership of their vessel. This process can be initiated by contacting the FWC through the Hurricane Ian Vessel Hotline at 850.488.5600 and requesting to turn over a displaced vessel. An FWC representative will then contact the owner to explain the waiver process and facilitate the potential turnover of ownership.
Charlotte County Tax Collector locations are open for walk-in driver licenses, motor services, and tax services without an appointment.
Renew vehicle registrations at the Kiosk: Quesada Commons Publix Super Market, 19451 Cochran Blvd., Port Charlotte

If you have been affected by Hurricane Ian, register with FEMA with your critical needs. FEMA may provide financial help with essential disaster-related needs, temporary housing expenses, basic home repairs, vehicle replacement and other needs.
There are several ways to apply:
Don’t wait to apply for FEMA assistance and if you do have insurance, do not wait to file an insurance claim for damage caused by the disaster.
