  "description": "Transfer ownership of a motor vehicle to a new owner in Florida using the data model of Form HSMV 82040 (Application for Certificate of Motor Vehicle Title). HSMV 82040 is a single, multi-purpose FLHSMV form: an 'Application Type' checkbox at the top selects between Original (first-ever Florida title, no ownership change) and Transfer, and several 'if applicable' sections cover lienholders, sales-tax exemptions, repossession, and other certifications. This document models the Transfer application type only. The form is not submitted online: it is printed at the top with 'Please submit this form to your local tax collector office or license plate agency', and is filed in person or by mail at a county tax collector office or license plate agency. Out of scope: the Original application type (a distinct process — a vehicle's first-ever Florida certificate of title with no change of ownership); the 'Off-Highway Vehicle Type' checkboxes (All-Terrain Vehicle/Recreational Off-Highway Vehicle/Off-Highway Motorcycle-specific); Section 3 brand/usage/condition checkboxes (e.g. rebuilt, flood, kit car — vehicle-condition flags orthogonal to the ownership transfer); the vehicle length (feet/inches) fields (trailer-specific); Section 7 (Dealer Sales Tax Report and motor vehicle trade-in information, dealer-only); Section 8 (VIN physical-inspection verification, completed and signed by a third-party licensed Florida dealer, Florida notary public, law enforcement officer, or authorized FLHSMV/tax collector/license plate agency employee — not data the applicant supplies); and Section 13 (Release of Spouse or Heirs Interest, a decedent's-estate transfer scenario). It does not submit the application; the live Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles source is always authoritative (see VERIFICATION.md).",

Both layers of the PDF were decoded: page.getTextContent() (pdfjs-dist) for the printed instruction/warning prose, and page.getAnnotations() for the AcroForm's 226 named field widgets across both pages, which is the authoritative source for exact field labels, groupings (e.g. which checkboxes share one radio-group fieldName), and page/section placement. Status remains 'draft' pending independent second-reviewer field-by-field re-check."
