I moved to Tennessee from Florida. The rates for registering and tagging a vehicle in Tennessee versus Florida is substantial. In Florida, impact fee of $450 for a new plate plus the title fee of $70, In Tennessee, $26 for the plate,, $30 for the title. If you are a disabled veteran, you get a lifetime plate for free. In Florida, they charge $12 a year for a DV plate.
Add the higher insurance costs in Florida, and the move to the Volunteer State was a no-brainer. I was Florida born and Florida bred, but the Florida I grew up in is long gone, south Florida is, in the words of one of my high school friends, simply another borough of New York City.
