Statutory residency and the 183-day rule If you spend 183 days or more in a high-tax state and maintain a permanent place of abode there (a home, apartment, even a long-term Airbnb), that state can legally classify you as a resident and tax you accordingly.
183 Day Rule for State Residency in Florida Under the rule, the taxing states require that a person looking to declare residency in Florida must reside in Florida for at least 183 days (in other words, one day more than six months). Note that any time spent in the state can count as a day.
(A caveat here: simply living in Florida does not completely establish legal residency. If you are a dependent with parents who live out-of-state, then youre a legal resident of that state, not Florida.) Along with that, you must show youre one of these: A U.S. citizen.
Establish a Residence Spending 183 days in the state can help establish residency but is not the only step that needs to be taken. If you purchase a home rather than rent, you can apply for the homestead exemption and you can take advantage of real estate benefits.
Is Dual Residency Possible? According to federal law, dual residency is not allowed. Its 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.
