License to Tag

Check out this comprehensive sideshow of Florida's license plates. All of them cost extra, the proceeds going to some special groups. I hope the next governor cleans up the license process and makes special tags a little more uniform. Right now, you have little idea that a car with these plates is from Florida.

While you are polishing your tag, check your county tax sticker. I didn’t get a bill. 7 days past my birthday and a cop stops me for expired sticker. I hustled over to Royal Palm to pay up, (try to find that office, its labeled Cultural Center). Miss Smiles told me “We are not required to send out notices, that is just a courtesy.” I have not received a notice 2 years running. How can oldies remember this stuff!

A florida vehicle registration little yellow sticker that goes on your license plate.
Since I do not get a bill and go to an office marked Anne Gannon, county tax, to pay for it, how should I know what it is!! grump, grump.
I believe there is a renew site online, but since I have no info... + I was in a hurry for my sticker so I would not get any fines.

DMV.org
or http://www.dmv.org/fl-florida/registration-renewals.php
“Motor vehicle services involving registration, titling, and license plates are handled by the Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) through county tax collector’s offices.”
I'm still grumpy. Somebody remind me again next March.

As legislators debate how to gut the Taxpayer Protection Act, this poem is floating around the internet (author unknown):

TAX POEM

Tax his land, tax his wage,
Tax his bed in which he lays.
Tax his tractor, tax his mule,
Teach him taxes are the rule.

Tax his cow, tax his goat,
Tax his pants, tax his coat.
Tax his ties, tax his shirts,
Tax his work, tax his dirt.

Tax his tobacco, tax his drink,
Tax him if he tries to think.
Tax his booze, tax his beers,
If he cries, tax his tears.

Tax his bills, tax his gas,
Tax his notes, tax his cash.
Tax him good and let him know,
That after taxes, he has no dough.

If he hollers, tax him more,
Tax him until he’s good and sore.
Tax his coffin, tax his grave,
Tax the sod in which he lays.

Put these words upon his tomb,
“Taxes drove me to my doom!”
And when he’s gone, we won’t relax,
We’ll still be after the inheritance TAX,

Hey maybe you’ll get a refund!!
