i am looking into purchasing an atv in tenesse, the dealer does not charge a sales tax. i live in fl, and want to ride at some ORV parks. i am pretty sure i have to register my quad to do this. My question is when i register it do i have to provide sales tax documentation, and if so if i havn't already payed it will i have to pay floridas just to register my quad. any info would be helpfull, even if you have done this in other states. thanks alot

Generally, this is like purchasing a car. You pay the sales tax when and where you register you vehicle. I purchased my ATV in NH, and did not pay sales tax as NH does not have sales tax. But I did not register in MA where I live as there is no real ATV riding here. If I did I would be subject to the 5% sales tax just like my automobile. Florida maybe different, but I doubt it.

 

Either way, grab your ankles and say "Thanks liberals".

 

Not to worry. You probably will get a tax bill from Florida. I bought a quad in Mississippi and got my tax bill in my home state of Alabama about 2 months later.

 

thanks for the replys guys. i ended up buying mine here in fl, 6136 otd for an es model, i told them what i was gettin for it otd in tenesse, then told them if they could get close if i added 400 for taxes and 400 for gas. they did, and it was a model up to, just because they didnt have the toe shift in stock. and the dang thing is gettin registerd for me. i was suprised how easy it was to talk down this place, 1 out of 4 places isnt bad, the others just told me to f-off.

Sounds like you did some wheeling and dealing. Congrats on the new ride.
