The Tavares Police Department now offers a free, voluntary registration service for residents' golf carts. The initiative aims to deter theft and assist in the recovery of stolen vehicles.

Golf carts serve as a popular and affordable mode of transportation in Tavares, particularly in the downtown area. Because these neighborhood vehicles are not state-registered and often lack factory-installed Vehicle Identification Numbers, they can be vulnerable to theft.

The new registration process allows owners to provide details about their golf carts to the police department. This information will help law enforcement trace and identify a registered cart if it is stolen, increasing the likelihood of its return to the owner.

Tavares golf cart owners can call 352.742.6200 for more information on how to register their vehicles.
