How do I establish residency in Florida or Texas if I don't own property there?

Written by Bo

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. With any plan, you'll be provided with a residential address (usable for driver’s license and vehicle registration), and your plan may also include a mail-forwarding address (for correspondence only). SavvyNomad does not determine whether any address qualifies as your residence for voting purposes. Confirm the appropriate voting-residence address with the applicable election authority. The Florida residential address is located within a community called Sunshine Village, which serves as the designated location for establishing a Florida domicile; the Texas community is Quilly’s Big Fish RV Park.

This setup works well for anyone who needs a recognized Florida or Texas address for legal and tax purposes without buying property. Neither state has an income tax, so the residency benefits are the same either way. It's an especially good fit for American expats, nomads, RVers, and mobile home owners, who need a stable address on file while spending most of the year on the road.

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, there is no state-issued equivalent form, but SavvyNomad can still help you complete one for your private records.
