Automobile State Registration Fees
I am a new resident of Florida and was wondering if it would be cheaper for me to purchase a vehicle here and have it registered in Florida, or back in San Diego, California.
I tried looking into comparisons but it was rather hard to pin point any exact figures. Anyone have any experience? I know other pilots have had their vehicles registered in Oregon for some tax stuff, but that is besides my point.

Surely you know that California is one -if not THE highest taxed state in the Union? That applies to the DMV, too.
It will cost you 10-20 TIMES more in CA, versus FL, which is one of the most reasonable tax states.
On another note, if you are NOT a bone fide FL “resident” -for tax purposes yet .. RUN to the nearest DMV, register your car, get a driver’s license and REGISTER to vote IMMEDIATELY . .to establish your FL residency. Not necessarily in this order, are the lowest tax states. FL, TX, TN, NV, NH, OR, AZ and AK . .might have forgot 1-2. Airline pilots, due to the nature of the work and domiciles, can take advantage of lots of things, when it comes to taxation.

I have a DL but do I need to register to vote here instead of CA to fulfill my residency? I bought a house here, but its in the family name instead. And I do plan to buy a car here w/ my current home address.
Thanks for your help too!
