SD vs TX residency
Both have no state income tax so why is SD more often a choice for residence for full time RVers?
Forum Discussion
Someone said about Texas state inspectios: Texas does not have a state income tax.
I always laugh when I hear people getting all worked up about the safety inspections in Texas, which only need to be done when you are in the state. We know people who go 5-6 years without going into the state and just have the inspection done when they do re-enter. The inspection takes all of 10 minutes, costs $14.50, and they check lights, horns, brakes, etc., no emission testing unless you live in one of the big cities - and those who use Escapees don't live in a big city.
Do I understand this to say, that if I am out of the state when y inspection is due, I don't need to have till I return to the state. Will I need to show proof of being out of state? Is there any penalty?
