State Wildflower Tag FAQ

The original State Wildflower license plate design was 19 years old in 2018. The fresh design draws attention to the link between pollinators and wildflowers. It depicts two species of Coreopsis, Florida’s state wildflower, with a butterfly. The yellow flower is Coreopsis leavenworthii, (Leavenworth’s tickseed); the pink is Coreopsis nudata (Georgia tickseed). Both are Florida native wildflowers. The plate was designed by Caley Curchy of Lake Wales, Fla.

License plates have a life expectancy of about 10 years. When your plate reaches that mark, your county tax collector’s office will send you a State Wildflower plate with the new design. If you’d like to switch before then, submit the form on this page to request a phone call from the Indian River Tax Collector’s office, which will process your request. Or visit your local tax collectors’ office.
