To establish residency in Florida or Texas without owning property, you can utilize the services provided by SavvyNomad.
We offer a comprehensive package that provides a Florida or Texas address. Depending on your plan, this may be a residential address (usable for driver’s license, vehicle registration, and as your voter registration residential address) or a mail-forwarding address (for correspondence only). If you have mail forwarding, do not list that mailing address as your voting residential address—you may use it as your mailing address on the voter record while listing a compliant residential address for precinct assignment. Voter registration is a helpful supporting step, but not determinative by itself.
This setup is particularly beneficial for those needing a recognized Florida or Texas address for legal and tax purposes without investing in property. Both states have no state income tax, so the tax residency benefits are the same.
SavvyNomad’s service includes support and guidance on filing the necessary forms and documentation to solidify your residency status. This includes filing a Declaration of Domicile on your behalf—in Florida, with the clerk of court using the state’s formal Declaration of Domicile form; in Texas, with the Clerk of Court in Aransas County (Texas has no state-issued equivalent form, but SavvyNomad can still file one for you).
