And theoretically you can buy your yearly "tags" (update sticker good for a year or two depending on what you pay) in any county I've bought them in the county I didn't live in/wasn't registered with the car with several times, though probably at a fee-express place (you pay the tax plus a convenience fee). The more you know!ĭo these states require you to re-register and get new plates if you move to a different county? Apparently now we can get "IN GOD WE TRUST" instead of "SUNSHINE STATE" but I didn't pick out our plates so I didn't know that. Takes about 5 years for plates to cycle out. More info later on in the page, that explains how more counties have them available now. This is one of those plates without the county name. Only two counties took advantage of this option, Dade and Bay, more or less defeating the purpose. This would help make it more difficult for rentals to be identified by the county (more rental cars would be registered in tourist-friendly counties). So just that I understand you correctly, I do not need to put on any county sticker whether it's the number or written out version 3. In 1995-96, they further gave counties the option to remove the county name from plates and return to the "Sunshine State" slogan. I had out of state plates on my vehicle previously.

They discontinued the use of special "Lease" plates on rental cars, which could help thieves identify tourists. In 1994, Florida responded to a rash of tourist killings in the state. This details part of the license plate number affecting the targetting of tourists/rental vehicles.
