It's not just Canadians who have 'special' rules to contend with.
Most states have 'residency' legislation that is applicable to people from other states as well. Makes it weird and tough on the snowbirds. But 'legally' you have 30 days to get Colorado plates and Dr License, if staying in-state continuously.
Normally it doesn't seem to be vigorously enforced,,,, but if you say the wrong things,,,, to the wrong person...... the fines stack up Very quickly. Colorado derives a large part of it's state revenues from 'personal property taxes'. I've heard the fines associated with non compliance add up to over $1500.....now that's an ouch.
Several states are heading in that direction to collect revenue from the semi migrant segment of the population. It's obvious that funds are needed.... too many bridges are about to fail.
