Today’s Specialty Plate in the spotlight is none other than the beloved Margaritaville plate. But before we get into the specifics of this particular tag, let’s do a quick recap of how this program works.
Florida Specialty Plates
The Florida Specialty Plate is a unique tag with a totally different design from the conventional tags that are issued by the state when you register your vehicle for the first time. Approved by and made available by the state of Florida and the FLHSMV (Florida’s DMV), Specialty Plates are available in over one hundred different unique motifs. The themes range all across the board, from sports teams to environmental conservation to animal rescue to first responder support to military awareness and more.
Specialty Plate Perks
Here at eTags, we like to say that a Specialty Plate is more than just a pretty face. Why? Well, because in addition to being a way to show affinity, interest, and support in a subject, there’s a lot more to this tag program. You see, with every purchase of a Specialty Plate you are in fact contributing to a charity, foundation, or organization. How? Each design is associated with a special cause, and will forward most or all of the proceeds from the sale of a tag to that cause. So, in essence, buying a cute plate means supporting people, animals, or environments with very little effort on your part.
