Florida Full Time Residence
All . . . . We are going to change our residency from PA to Florida during this December. Does anybody have a check list of what you have to do to get a Florida residency? And in what order?? thank...

Are you moving here permanently or just trying to use Florida as a domicile?
I'll tell you right now you will not be able to use Florida as a domicile while you are full-timing. Those days are LONG gone.
I am STILL trying to get my Florida DL and I actually moved here.
You can thank the new ID laws and The Patriot Act for making life difficult. AND the fact Florida is in an all out war to make living here part time or pretending to for reaping 'any' of the benefits, virtually impossible.
No longer can you get a Florida license in a heartbeat without proving beyond a reasonable doubt that you live here 365 days a year. And a postal mailing forward address will not fly with the FL DMV.
Also be prepared to pay $400 ON TOP of the registration fee for each vehicle you bring from out of state in to Florida.
AND.....hang on to your wallet and clutch your heart when you find out what homeowners insurance costs are in Florida compared to where you used to live.
Wow . . . . . that does not sound good. Thanks for the info. I will check into it. . . . . ken
