Florida domicile people do you stay 6 months there?

Nothing wrong with owning property in different states, I own property in 3. You can claim residence in any of them and you can't be in more than one permanently.

We in Florida 6 to 8, but Florida does care how long you stay.
When we did everything we were in Fort Pierce on the East Coast as we've never set foot in Crestview. And I agree it varies from County to County because we've had friends that didn't show anything other then vehicle title and drivers license.

Michelle S...do you stay in florida for six months?

When we got licenses/registrations in Florida we had to show several bills with the Crestview address and hand them our NY Drivers license.

I am a native FL resident so I never had to go thru the process. But from what I hear it varies by counties, different Tax Assessors, the St Brendans Isle people seem to have smoothed the way with their local county, I don't know about Crestview but once you get thru the process you are done. I have heard some people complaining about trying to do it by themselves in the Tampa Bay area and being refused. Apocryphal of course. And Tax Assessors come and go with the election seasons but I'd guess they are rarely voted out.

We still own a home and property in Western NY, but have been Florida residents for going on 10 years.
We use the GS Mail Service out of Crestview, Florida and all bills including NY County/Town property and School tax bills go to that address.

And you can return for visits, just dont rent any spaces longer than necessary, avoid anything tainted by NY as much as possible.
I still own a house in Va, but have not been there for 4 months. And electric bills prove it.

I thought slavery was illegal but NY thinks they own you and the fruits of your labor. If they find you escaped they send the revenuers patrolers after you.

Yeah, NY makes me wonder...greedy. We will be selling house end of July in NY but have grandchildren in NY so May - September? and possibly a month around christmas would be NY. It is not like we will never return...have ties there.

Florida is unlikely to mind. They get a few bucks from registration and license.

NY is the one you have to worry about. If they decide they can get thousands in taxes out of you, they may dispute your change in domicile.

3-4 months in Florida and little (preferably no time) in NY and you can establish that you are no longer domiciling in NY. 3-4 months in Florida and 6-8 months in NY and NY has a legitimate claim.
