"You've established a Florida living address"
I think that is the key.

Again if you scroll to the question and answer section, it's answered.
Like I said, I know it can be done, I know of two snowbirds that have vehicles registered here and keep the vehicles here.

Yes, apparently, it can be done. Here is a link that explains getting Florida auto insurance for snowbirds.

However, it sounds expensive, and I suspect that many snowbirds in The Villages don't do it. But, I think the DMV answer would be that you need to do it to comply with the registration law.
