Cost of FL licenses

I am a resident of Florida and just renewed my freshwater license for
another year. The state charges $13.50 for this. I noticed that
non-residents are charged either $16.50 for a 7 day license or $31.50 for a
12 month license. I just think is to high. I can see giving a break in price
to residence of the state but I don't think the state should charge double
for non-residents. You would think Disney was running the show.

Lol Todd, check out other states' non-resident prices. FL is about as cheap
as they get brother...

I don't know about that. Va is $6.00 for nonresident. Good for 5 days. $30
for a year. Unfortunately, they expire Dec 31, regardless when you buy them.

The idea is to make up for some of the tax money you pay and they don't. You
are buying tackle and gas there all year - non residents only while visiting.

Visitors pay a lot more into the state coffers vs. getting services. Is a
good way to increase revenues without upsetting voters. Same reason that
Houston added a tax (14% I think) to rental cars to pay for the new Houston
stadium.
