I currently live in Maryland. I am moving to Florida in July. According to the Florida DMV website, if a vehicle is less than 6 months old, Florida sales tax has to be paid.

I getting ready to buy a vehicle but I am trying to figure out if I am better off trying to get the Tax and Tags in Florida, now, before I move there in July.

Is that even possible (to register in Florida while living in MD)?

Are there any tax exemptions for the military?

What is a homestead exemption?

Military Rates:

Members of the Armed Forces stationed in Florida, but who maintain their legal residence outside the state of Florida, are classified as non-resident military and are eligible for special registration rates. To qualify for the special rates, Florida law requires that the vehicle owner must submit a copy of their military orders or a current Leave & Earning statement and sign a Military Non-resident Affidavit before a notary. Proof of insurance is mandatory.

If the vehicle is not titled in Florida, a copy of the out-of-state title is required for application. The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) must be verified by a Tax Office employee, Florida notary, Florida motor vehicle dealer or a state or military law enforcement officer. State statutes require the VIN be checked yearly upon registration.

Regular rates will apply if the non-resident's status changes. Also, if military orders transfer the owner out of the state of Florida, they are no longer entitled to Florida registration.

(WARNING: Military personnel who file for non-resident status on a vehicle will not be eligible to file homestead exemption in the State of Florida. Contact the Duval County Property Appraiser's Office for more information)

I'm not sure about the florida tax thing but I can tell you that yes, you can register your veh in another state while it is still registered in yours.

My husband just did this with our cars. We just got our physical address in FL and my husband registered my van that I am still driving here in NY with the NY plates on it. He has the FL plates in hand already. I thought it was kinda wierd myself, but who knows.

Thanks for the feedback. Since I am buying this weekend, I don't know what I can swing in the next month (30 day temp tags).

Just in case you weren't aware....there's an impact fee of I believe $150 if you've never had a Florida tag before. Cheers!!
