Not true. From "floridabar.org",

"Any person who has a car in Florida for more than 90 days during a 365-day period must purchase PIP and property damage liability insurance. The 90 days do not have to be consecutive."

Also, there are many website legal articles about the requirement for a non-Florida resident snowbird to have a Florida auto insurance policy if they use a vehicle in Florida for more than 90 days per year.
