License plates issued pursuant to the provisions of this chapter are not transferable to a vehicle owned other than by the original applicant or jointly owned by the original applicant. Upon transfer of the ownership of a vehicle bearing such non-transferable license plate, the owner shall remove the license plate and the authority to use this same shall thereby be canceled. However, after such a transfer of ownership occurs, the owner may transfer the license plate to a newly acquired or other passenger car, trailer, station wagon, van or truck not exceeding 14,000 pounds owner's declared gross vehicle weight or non-commercial trailer which he leases, owns or owns jointly provided that a special license plate is only transferable to another passenger vehicle or non-commercial trailer registered in the same tag class as currently registered. Such transfer is accomplished by submitting to the appropriate county tag agent a new application, a $5 transfer fee, copy of the registration certificate for the vehicle on which the license plate was previously displayed and the owner's registration certificate or other proof of ownership of the vehicle being registered (validated by county tag office indicating ad valorem taxes paid or vehicle exempt from ad valorem taxes).
