What is Florida's vehicle impact fee?

Every citizen who purchases a vehicle for the first time will have to pay the initial registration fee of $225 in order to secure a registration and license plate. If a vehicle owner acquires an additional vehicle, the owner will have to pay the $225 fee for each additional vehicle they acquire where there is no license plate to transfer. Essentially, based on the above example, vehicle owners in Florida who purchase a vehicle without having a license plate to transfer will pay approximately $378.10 for the first time. Thereafter, it will cost an average of $71.85 per year to renew their vehicle registrations. In this current economic climate the increase in vehicle registration fees will have an adverse impact on many purchasers' ability to buy vehicles. Specifically, this will adversely impact low income car shoppers.
