Lots of snowbirds use Florida as their main address. Especially ones who spend more time in Florida than other states. We are full time Florida residents, been for 32 years!

No matter what your politics are, your vote counts in Florida
Hmmmm, waiting in line to vote for two hours, after pools should be closed and national election results are already determined. One party getting 95 percent of vote in our district. It counts as a statistic, but not determining who wins.No matter what your politics are, your vote counts in Florida
Check your car insurance coverages and where you need to plate them
Our neighbor is from NJ and for several years he plated in NJ as well as insured there but kept a car here
They only come down for 2 months and he recently found out that if his house burned down with the NJ car in it that he would not be covered since the car was here year round so he switched that car and it’s insurance to Florida
He also changes his bank and electric bills to Florida just before coming each year and is able to get Florida resident discount passes for the parks
A friend of mine owned a home in Hawaii and one here in New Mexico. Her husband kept a chart (as they went back and forth) to make sure they spent enough time in Hawaii as that is where they claimed residence.Essentially, to qualify to be a Florida resident, you must spend at least half the year in Florida. Figure 183 days. You could buy a nice home for the price you get from selling your NY home, and for the 183 days you're not here, you can rent it out on VRBO or the like.

I mentioned that to my insurance agent and she said not true. I was not able to get in to register my car and finally got an appointmentCheck your car insurance coverages and where you need to plate them

Or a statement with Florida address. Some residents are without ID as are undocumented or use a passport from another country.Surprised he gets discounts at parks because they asked for photo id proving Florida residency.
Still surprised. They don’t honor a statement or even a tax bill in Wisconsin Dells to get into attractions. I remember having to show photo ID with Florida address to get discount At Disney. But they must have eased up.Or a statement with Florida address. Some residents are without ID as are undocumented or use a passport from another country.
