You don't officially register as a Florida resident. Just get a Florida drivers license and vehicle title, and apply for a homestead exemption if you own a house. The main thing is that you need to break ties with your previous state so they cannot tax you. There is a DMV office on Rt 466A and Powell Rd.

Note that I moved here from Virginia where they have a car tax. Virginia told me that I had to continue to pay the car tax until I sent them a copy of a Florida car title. To me, that seemed to be the most important thing to do. Also, you can only get a Sumter County library card at Powell Rd. If you want a Lake or Marion County library card, you need to go to one of their branches.
