Yes. The car can be registered in Florida even though the owner has an Ohio drivers license. It will cost a few hundred dollars, & the owner must have the title to the car. The title & the VIN on the car must match. The car/owner must have Florida car insurance. The following is from the Sumter County website. Is the owner renting in Sumter County?

To register your vehicle in Florida we will need the following:

All registered owners must be present. If one or more registered owner is not able to be present in the office, this packet or this form will need to be completed, with original signatures
Photo identification- State issued driver's license or ID card for each registered owner
Original out of state title (If you have a lien on your vehicle you will need to ask for a letter of request from our office to have the title released to us for registration)
Proof of FLORIDA insurance through a FLORIDA agent; (a card, policy or binder will need to be shown in office)
The vehicle for VIN verification weather permitting, or a completed form HSMV 82042
Bill of sale if vehicle has been purchased within the last six (6) months
