In most Florida cities/towns vehicles without a current plate can be hauled away after notification. Here in the Missouri Ozarks there are no zoning rules in the counties so storing outside without a plate is no problem. Also to blow your mind, building permits are free, no impact fees, no perk tests on 3 to 10 acres or more and no inspections in the counties (do them yourself or have it done, or don't do it at all if you want to live dangerously. Many reasons to get the hell out of Florida and I did after living there 59 years.
