Almost all states require a "true-up" in sales tax on an automobile purchase if the car was purchased in another state and the sales tax collected was lower than the resident's state sales tax. This is not double taxation. This happens quite frequently with internet car sales and is nothing special to Florida. There is actually good reason for this but not worth debating here.
Thanks for clarifying, I must have misunderstood when trying to get my plates at the Sumter DMV...

I was not a FL resident when purchasing the vehicle while living in my previous state. Moved here a month later.
