I just did the process with mine. This channel's info was really helpful. In case anyone was curious, I spent $325 for parts. I spent $440 in various gov't related fees for application fee, title, license plate etc. I rented a Uhaul trailer to tow it to the local waste transfer station to get it weighed and that was around $40. Monthly insurance is around $50. It wasn't cheap by any means. Also, the in person inspection is no longer required, they used all the documentation and pictures instead of in-person inspection of the cart.

I wish I saw this before I bought my cart.

Why all the receipts if the gear is already fitted? Seems like a monster tax raising sceam. Was once told that similar tax raising schemes apply to cars that appear tv programs like "Overhaulin"

Where can I find that bill of sale shown in the video? Can the bill of sale be written out?

If I buy a street legal LSV in Florida, am I required to register it and carry the insurance for an LSV? I would rather just use it as a golf cart and not have to register it or use it on the street. Is that allowed and can I carry just the lower cost golf cart insurance on it?

Do the linked Amazon parts provide the correct paperwork for Florida inspectors?

You mentioned the “packet” is taken to the regional tax collector office. Would this be like the Yates Branch in Jacksonville?

Hi Paul, once your golf cart is converted to an LSV can it be driven on any and every road whatsoever in the state of Florida that has a speed limit of 35 mph or less? Also, are you allowed to cross streets at junctions where the cross street has a speed limit of more than 35 mph?

The "free" State of Florida...

what a bunch of nonsense of regulations. Its only about collecting some tax revenue. They already get revenue from gas carts when you buy fuel.
