Default Sales Tax on New Golf Cart

We’re shopping around for a golf cart outside the bubble and have been quoted three different tax rates:

* Dealer #1 (Leesburg): tax is 7% on first $5,000 and 6% on the remainder.

* Dealer #2 (Ocala): sales tax is based on the county in which they are located: 7.5%

* Dealer #3 (Clermont): sales tax is based on the county in which we reside, irrespective of the sales office we buy from. But then he said “the villages” (comprised of 3 counties) is 7%

It’s pretty odd/shady that they would all be saying different things, but I imagine one of them is right.

I’ll research myself but wanted to post/share as hopefully this will also help others.
