Can I buy a $ 500 lot as a foreigner to register a car in Florida?
<p>I travel a lot to the United States (Florida). I would like to have my own car registered in the country instead of renting all the time. In long-term this will be cheaper and more comfortable.</p>

<p>I need a "real property" address to register the car and insurance from what I have been told.</p>

<p>So my question: Can I buy a cheap $ 500 lot somewhere in Florida (with mapped house number), put a large mail box there and start my car registration?</p>

<p>The mail box will be emptied all 2-3 months and will be large enough to hold all letters.</p>

<p>I'll also arrange someone who will mow the lot.</p>

<p>Is there any legal need of a building on the property to register the car? </p>

<p>This varies by jurisdiction perhaps and I can't speak directly to Florida (unless you have  a link to the law), but usually the rules in this area have to do with your "domicile." The same often goes for insurance, which is required to drive. Insurance rates are determined in no small part by your address and registering for insurance with a fake address is likely not legal. Typically, your "domicile" is defined as where you most often spend the night and/or the location where you intend to live.  </p>
