Frequently asked

Are street-legal golf carts allowed on the road in Zephyrhills, FL?
Yes — as low-speed vehicles (LSVs) under Florida's rule for Pasco County: streets posted 35 mph or less, with the required equipment, a title, registration, insurance, and a valid driver license (F.S. 316.2122).
Where do I register an LSV in Zephyrhills?
Through the Pasco County Tax Collector / FLHSMV, using the cart's Manufacturer's Certificate of Origin. Only a factory-certified LSV (or a properly converted cart meeting state requirements) can be titled and registered for road use.
Can I drive a regular golf cart on Zephyrhills streets?
Only where specifically designated for golf carts. A non-LSV golf cart can't use the general road network — that's the practical difference between a golf cart and a street-legal LSV.
What does a street-legal cart cost in Zephyrhills?
Verified MSRPs in our catalog run from about $9,000 to $25,000 by division. Our configurator shows a live out-the-door estimate — Florida tax, title, and initial registration included — before any dealer contact.
