Florida has always been the leader for retirement moves and it's now one of the top destinations for relocation. Sarasota ranks second nationwide as the most popular place to relocate.
With so many people calling Florida home for the first time, I'm breaking down the easy steps to become a resident. Qualifying for Florida residency is easy, and it comes with a lot of benefits. Tune in to my explainer video on how to become a Florida resident!
Want to know what you have to do to qualify as a Florida resident?
You need to take a few simple steps, including registering your vehicle with the Florida DMV, indicating intent by demonstrating that your employment or other daily activities take place in the state, and spending 183 days or more here each year.
Once you are a Florida resident, you can enjoy the tax advantages (no state income tax!) as well as the fabulous lifestyle. While there are benefits to living just about anywhere in Florida, Sarasota is particularly special because it offers luxury living opportunities that are much more affordable than in sister cities with similar amenities. We've got the best of the natural landscape AND a cosmopolitan downtown, with plenty of home styles and price points to fulfill any buyer's dreams.
