Default How to find Residency/License info?

What I'm trying to accomplish:

Get my drivers license switched to a Florida one.
Get a homestead exemption.
Get my car plates switched to Florida ones.

What I'm finding online:

To get a license switched over to Florida you need to prove you live in Florida, and you have to do it "within 30 days" of becoming a resident.

The options to prove this:
Quote:
enroll your children in public school, or
register to vote, or
file for a homestead exemption, or
accept employment, or
reside in Florida for more than six consecutive months.
No kids, have to also change voter registration since I'm already registered in the state I came from. Not working yet, just got here, and filing a homestead exemption is on the list of things I need to do.

Problem #2: one of the things I have to do, to file for a homestead exemption, is have a valid Florida drivers license.

Head-banging here. I need a FL license to get homestead, and I need homestead to get license.

Is there some single government website that can explain the entire process of "becoming legal in Florida" in 10 easy steps (or similar)?
