Is Dual Residency Possible? ing to federal law, dual residency is not allowed. It's necessary, then, to establish legal resident status in one state and only one state, no matter how many properties a person might own. While an individual may own homes in several states, only one residence can be their domicile.
Residence is a place you live for a time. It could be a summer hideaway, a college dorm, or just a place you go to get away from the snowy winters up north. Domicile is the place you intend to make your permanent home, the place to which you intend to return if you are temporarily residing in another state.
The fastest way to become a Florida resident is to establish a permanent home in the state, update your driver's license, register to vote, and file a Declaration of Domicile with the local county clerk. You must still be physically present in the state for at least 183 days.
Q: How Do I Establish My New Domicile? Change your mailing address with the U.S. Postal Service. Change your address on your bank, savings, credit card, mortgage and investment accounts as well as your insurance policies and will. Obtain a driver's license in your new domicile state.
