I can only be a legal resident of WA, but I live and work and register my cars in Hawaii. It works out really well, because Hawaii has less sales tax and lower car licening fees, while WA has no income tax. But I can't get a drivers license here, because that (according to the department of licensing) would change my legal residencey. | ||

You can have the residences, but only one can be your primary residence, i.e., where you vote, homeowner's exemption, etc. You can register the cars in the state where they are kept, and if the State tried to give you trouble about that, you can follow the appellate rules to make them register the car. An awful lot of people who actually live in California have attempted to establish their primary residence in Nevada. Some get away with it, and a lot don't. Legal residence is where you vote, file your tax returns, and on occassion spend time there. Art | ||

You can easily set up two Residences for taxes and car registration purposes......the legalities of it are another story......but it can be done fairly easily. | ||

You can have 50 residences but only one for tax and voting purposes. You can also register cars at the 50 residences but some states and insurance companies require a state license like Florida which has a "Florida Only " license. | ||

I dont believe you can have 2 residencies. If you have to chose, go to NV cus you'll save yourself $1,000s in state income taxes | ||

Military people can do some of that kind of stuff. I believe they can pretty much just pick a state to have residency in no matter where they are based. I have a relative in the Air Force who is stationed in CA. He is a car nut and has a few registered to his address in CA and a few at my parents address in OR. His OR drivers license also lists my parents address but has no photo. | ||

From what I understand, you can only claim one as your primary residence. As such, tax laws, etc. all apply accordingly. If it were that easy, people from CA would be all over NV for state-tax evasion. You can have residences wherever else you want. --Dan | ||

Just wondering if someone can have residency (to register a car, etc.) in two states at the same time? I see no reason why I couldn't, but a friend of mine says 'no way.' Help me prove him wrong  Best! Ben. |
