Please look at the Nuts and Bolts section. Auto registration is covered in my Things to Think about when moving to the Villages.

The cars are easy.

The Homestead Exemption thing is another ball game. You can only get homestead exemption when the home in Florida is your primary residence. I would guess that if you wholly own the home in Florida and your wife wholly owns the home in Tenn you might have a shot. I think you actually have to live here more than 6 months a year. But I would pass it by a lawyer before I would think of doing it.

Also Homestead rebate and car registration are two different things. I am not sure what your concern is. They ticket all cars regardless of state if you are breaking the law.
