Florida Residency Rules: No State Income Tax

The rule in one paragraph

No state income tax. A favorite destination domicile — but your OLD state decides whether you truly left.

The details

Moving to Florida doesn't end your old state's claim on you. Establish domicile affirmatively: homestead exemption, driver's license, voter registration, and — critically — spend fewer days in your former state than its statutory test allows.

What counts as a day in Florida?

Any part of a day spent in the jurisdiction generally counts as a full day toward the test — landing at 11 p.m. counts the same as a full day. Most states apply a narrow exception for pure travel through the state.

Count your days automatically
