MOVETOFLORIDA · AN EXITGLOBAL GUIDE

Your next chapter,
in Florida.

A fresh start can still feel connected. Compare your Florida move around the home, work and everyday life you want to build.

Choose a starting point, keep useful answers together and prepare a working checklist.

Where are you moving from?

Start with your departure so the plan can reflect the connections you are leaving behind.

THE TAX PICTURE

Florida does not impose an individual income tax. Property, sales and business taxes can still matter to your overall cost. Official guidance.

Federal filing obligations remain a separate question. Check the IRS filing guidance.

This is a planning overview. Use the rules for your filing year and seek advice for your specific facts.

BEFORE YOU COMMIT

Request address-specific home, flood and wind insurance quotes alongside property-tax estimates.
Compare year-round housing, healthcare access and the travel you expect to make back.
Review business registration, payroll and sales-tax obligations independently of your personal move.

Plan your arrival and review the home, work and financial connections you retain in your departure state.

Leaving California

California-source income can remain taxable after a move. Review workdays, business income and equity compensation. FTB residency guidance · FTB change-of-residency guidance.

Leaving New York

A new address alone does not end New York residency. Review domicile, retained housing, time in the state and remote-work sourcing. New York residency and telecommuting guidance · Domicile definitions.

Also comparing Puerto Rico?

Puerto Rico is a U.S. territory with separate residency and income-sourcing rules. Benefits are not automatic. IRS territory guidance.

Map your dates, housing, household and work arrangements. List the property, equity awards and business interests that need a closer look.

Keep evidence of your actual move, update relevant records and confirm the returns or registrations that still apply.
