We split our time between NY and FL. We used to drive but now we fly.

Our cars remain in NY but we bought a car which remains in FL. Registered and plated in FL. Of course it is the only car I own with heated seats. You do not need a FL drivers license to register a car in FL. It's on a different ins company because my home company does not sell in FL.

Check with your ins company, if you are away from FL for an extended time, like 6+ months and the car is garaged, you can put your ins into vacation/storage mode.

Most states require you to re-register a car if it is in a new state longer than 30 days, probably for tax purposes. Nobody will probably call you out on that unless your in an accident or you really **** some off.
