Residency Checklist

June 15, 2021

In addition to great weather, one of Florida’s most attractive characteristics is the lack of a state income tax. It easily makes its way as a top choice for those who are interested in establishing residency and saving on taxes. But you can't just say "I'm a Florida resident" and have the income tax bill magically disappear. You need to show that Florida is your primary and permanent home—and it's your actions, not your words, that count the most.
