Can you leave a Canadian car in Florida?
"Rog'" wrote in message .. . "Calif Bill" wrote: "Rog'" wrote: Florida does ~not~ tax private personal property in its state. Probably not true. They tax boats that are there for extended periods. Probably the same with cars. You are mistaken, my fine feathered friend. ... http://dor.myflorida.com/dor/property/exemptions.html "Some items of personal property are not taxable, for example, licensed motor vehicles, boats, airplanes, trailers, trailer coaches, and certain mobile homes as defined by law." ... Section 1, Article VII, Florida Constitution: "(b) Motor vehicles, boats, airplanes, trailers, trailer coaches and mobile homes, as defined by law, shall be subject to a license tax for their operation in the amounts and for the purposes prescribed by law, but shall not be subject to ad valorem taxes." And those license fees probably cover the ad valorem taxes also. Been lots of stories of people staying on their boats over the 30 days or some set amount of time and getting the bill for registration. Makes sense. Same as most other states. If it was possible to do as you say, everyone would be registering their vehicles in cheap states. |

They tax boats that are there for extended periods. Probably the same with cars. fla no longer has a personal tangible property tax __________________________________________ Never argue with an idiot. They'll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience. How much is car registration in Florida. California, part of the fees are the value tax. |

The annunal registration fees here range from $27 to $47, depending on the vehicle's weight. The theory is that the heavier the vehicle, the more wear on the roads. It has nothing to do with value, as that is expressly prohibited by the Florida Constitution. As for "people staying on their boats," I do not recall the OP saying that he was going to live in his car. It a little different. Could a boat be interpreted as a "residence?" Florida has plenty of experience with folks using their boats as residences. As for the bills, marinas collect rent and remit the sales tax to DOR offices. It doesn't take rocket science to track boats from marina to marina and figure out who is residing versus who is chartering a boat for a fishing trip. |

Does anyone have any experience to share regarding a Canadian leaving a Canadian car in Florida? Any problems around licensing (Canada or US?) insurance, customs\duties, storage preparation under the car port? Thank you in advance. Bill I've been following this thread off and on, but I don't believe anyone has addressed the customs/ duties part, only state requirements. Leaving an imported car in a foreign country may have customs/duties implications. Check with a U.S. consulate. George |

wrote: The one-time $100 charge is in addition to the annual tag fees. BUT... If the transfer of registration is due to a sale, a new title fee and sales tax of 6% will also be collected. There doesn't have to be a sale for it to kick in. Just moving into the state. And there are additional titling fees. |

Check with a U.S. consulate. .... and Canadian Customs, it is their responsibility to prove the vehicle is free of any liens before it is even allowed to go to the US for an 'extended' period. If the vehicle does have a lien, taking to vehicle out of the country for an 'extended' period may be prohibited without seeking permission from the lender. |

My parents are snowbirds and left a canadian car in FL for years. Just remember you still have to renew your Canadian license plates and ownerships as well as insurance. |
