You do not have to have a majority residence to register a car in Florida. They do not require a proof of residency. Therefore you can register a vehicle tax free. Snd live here. No fraud

You can also do this in several other states... Vermont, Delaware, Indiana, Kentucky, Maine, Massachusetts, New York, North Dakota and Pennsylvania.

So can anyone register a car in FL? From what I've read online, which I'm not sure of, (which I mistakenly came to reddit for clarification for) is that you have to have a FL drivers license. I've only switched my drivers license and auto registration once, 8 years ago when I moved from MA to RI. A few years ago I recall seeing articles about how police were going to be cracking down on out of state registration in Woonsocket and I always wondered how'd they determine if the owner was a resident or not.

Ok so a few things... one, there are a few exemptions and ways for out of state people to register without and it actually gives directions on how to register with out of state licensing and has a whole section on snowbirds etc... weird. But it does. And how to hold a license if you don't reside in the state or multiple licenses. I haven't seen other states do that and the other states I listed made no mention of that as a requirement. Also alot of the time I know married couples that have a summer home one home here is in one name and the winter home there is in the other and they register all extended property there because Florida has no personal or income or property taxes.

On your second point... you know damn well those articles were a bullshit attempt by the police and dmv and traffic courts to shut people up. Anyone who has attempted to get anything done in any of those sectors knows they won't do a damn thing. Last week I received one of those automated speeding tickets for a license plate on a van neither of which I ever owned. And spent the better half of my week with the dmv and ep police... 🙄 this state feeds us alot of beautocratic bullcrap.
