- What does a premium street-legal golf cart cost out the door in Florida?
- The table shows each cart's Florida out-the-door estimate — the cart's price (the maker's MSRP where one is published, otherwise a dealer's listed price) plus 6% state sales tax, county surtax, FLHSMV title, and registration, base build before kits and dealer delivery.
