Have fun finding the definition/clarification of what constitutes a "motor vehicle"!

If FL's statute is anything like OH's regarding the definition of a "motor vehicle", it would not include golf carts. From OH's perspective, they consider a motor vehicle to be something that's a titled unit for usage on public roads or waterways - cars, trucks, motorcycles, RVs, boats, and such. Thus, even though golf carts are approved in TV for usage on the roadways, they are not titled vehicles. I would assume LSVs would fall under that category, though, as they are titled.

I had to plow through OH's stuff on that exact topic ("What is considered to be a motor vehicle?") a number of years back for my business - needed to determine it specifically as it impacted collection of sales taxes for me regarding services rendered to "motor vehicles". It was a bit frustrating to find the right person in the right department in the right.......anyways, I eventually got it all straight! WHEW!

Again, that's how it works in OH. I'd have to think FL would be awfully similar.
