Thank You

The government offices are located in the back of the Pinellis library.
Compared to what is was like in NY it was well thrilling-fast. As I recall you will need proof the car is insured in Florida. You will also want to get a Florida driver's license-that too is at the same location. Cost for plates-I don't really recall but it was about the same as in NY. The only strage thing is they charge you a fee for the first time you get the plate ?????? 50 ish.
I expect like us you will come out way ahead. Same insurance coverage-we have top coverage-is about half of what it used to cost us in NY. Unlike in NY there is no state inspection. That used to be yet another waste of time and money.
While your there get a library card and unless you are keeping another house in a high tax state you can file for the resident deduction-yup, same place. Oh, and you can register to vote-same place.
