When we moved here a couple years ago, we went to the DMV and changed our drivers licenses and car registrations all at the same time. When you change your registration you will need the title and Florida proof of insurance cards from your auto insurance company. You should also drive any vehicle you are changing, to the DMV because they have to verify the VIN, in person. If you don't take the vehicle with you, they will send a police officer to your house to verify the number and you will get the new registration later - much easier/quicker to just drive the vehicle to the office. One thing that caught us by surprise was that we had to pay the difference in sales tax between MA and FL because we had purchased the vehicle within the past 6 months.
I think Buttonwood is in Sumter county, and there are two county offices here. One near the intersection of Morse and 466 and the other near Pinellas plaza off of Powell road in the southern part of The Villages.
Hope that helps, and welcome!!
