just did all this in December
My checkbook log says we paid $516.90 in December - to title one vehicle, personalized plate, 2 drivers' licenses. Renewal date was July (birthday of one of us) - that was $62.35, good till next July. And they make it easy for snowbirds to get the renewal sticker sent to an out of state address.
Not sure if renewal is more for personalized plates or not, don't think so. I think it was only $20-40 to get the personalized plate. Also a little more to get your choice of backgrounds for plate.
If you are in Sumter County (and maybe even if you're not), it's a one-stop deal at the new County Building (gold dome) on 466A toward Wildwood (the new library is in part of the building).
We did have to make one more stop at the sheriff's annex building at Morse & 466 (Mariposa Lane) by golf cart if you like, to apply for the Homestead Exemption next. No charge for that, just a paper to fill out and turn in - I think they even gave us the paper at the license bureau, just couldn't turn it in there.
Florida has a great website to determine what paperwork you need to take with you, can't remember what it is, but google Florida driver's license. If you have ever changed your name, you especially need to look at this. You can personalize it.
