Go with the buyer to the Auto Title and Registration/Tags DMV at The Villages Annex on Hwy. 466 at Morse Boulevard.
I've done it and these are the best DMV workers I've ever seen: professional, courteous, instructive and efficient. When you go there with the buyer, THEY instruct the buyer about sales tax to be paid, new title, new registration and pay the money, and you don't have to deal with that and a buyer who might want to wiggle out of some of these costs.
They will instruct both of you. As for your tags you're removing, if you don't have another car to register them onto now, FL requires you to turn in the plates BUT also suspend that plate/registration for future use, so you don't have to start over paying the big initial fee for new plate/registration again for another car you might buy.
They showed me how the suspended plate info stays suspended in the computer system on my car registration records right below my current car's record, ready to be registered for another vehicle later on if I choose.
