You can also go down to the Sumter County Govt. Building on Powell Rd and 466A . As I recall it is initially expensive to retag and retitle but the renewals thereafter are relatively cheap compared to the mid-western states. You do have to surrender your old license and obtain one issued by Florida. Your old insurance is also no good. You have to change it so it is in compliance with FL statutes and you need a Florida Insurance card. It is often times easier to buy a Florida policy locally and just cancel the old insurance. The back home insurance agent is often not likely to be familiar with the Florida Auto Insurance quirks. If you try to register your car without these two items, forget it. You are wasting your time.
