Want to liven up your vehicle? If you’re bored with Florida’s standard orange, white and green license plates, the state offers a wide selection of specialty plates you can buy to provide some personal expression to your ride and make some money for charities.
And soon you’ll be able to brag about The Villages.
There are currently 113 specialty license plates available in Florida with 30 more in presales. You can show off your college or university, your favorite Florida football team, different branches of the military, environmental causes like protecting sea turtles, manatees, panthers, dolphins, and coral reefs, or just things you like such as Walt Disney World, golf, flowers and the concept of summer.
A plate promoting Florida’s largest 55+ community is one of nine new specialty plates approved by the Florida Legislature this year. Other plates include a Margaritaville one to honor the late Jimmy Buffett.
The plates go on sale Oct. 1, but they won’t be available right away.
