Our big concern is that we will want 2 cars back here next summer, or at least want to see how it works out once we're both not working and in Ohio - we do a lot of different stuff and there are no golf cart paths here!

Anyway, we plan to be Florida residents and will be transferring the title and registering one of the cars in Florida. Can we legally be Florida residents if we leave one car registered in Ohio? We know we have to spend 1 day more than 6 mos. in Florida. We're both on the title of our Villages home. We are not married, and I am the titled owner of the car we hope to leave in Ohio.

Does anyone know or can point me in the right direction? I found the Florida website but not the section where it might cover this situation.

We're snowbirds with our northern home in NY State. We have one car, the one which comes south with us, registered in Florida. The other two remain in NY. I checked with the NY State Police and was told the vehicle should be registered in the state where it spends most of its time. That's how I made my decision about where to register the vehicles. They are both insured through State Farm, the NY cars through a NY agent, the Fl car through a Florida agent.
