The total cost of living is far less in Florida than in Michigan. That's one of the reasons I moved from Michigan to Florida. The thing that is more expensive is registering a vehicle in Florida from another state. You can expect at least a $500 bill to do that. It's a one time thing.

And there is no emissions testing, in fact, the only inspections that are done is when you register an out of state vehicle they verify that the VIN matches the title.
