Also if your car is newer than 6 months old you'll have to pay the sales tax difference on the purchase of your new car from your home state to this state.
For example I purchased a new car in Maryland in March and after trade-in I owed $9000 and we had 6% sales tax, which came to $540. I moved here in July to Sumter County which has sales tax of 7%, so I owed 1% of $9000 or $90 for the difference. Since my car was 3 weeks short of being 6 months old, I left the tax office and returned 3 weeks later and bought the new tags without paying the sales tax. However you'll want to bring your checkbook anyway, cost of new tags for two years in Florida was $485.
