Florida Declaration of Domicile is a legal document used to establish an individual's permanent residence in the state of Florida. The document is filed with the county in which the individual wishes to establish residency. It is used to demonstrate an individual's intent to make Florida their primary residence and to show they have abandoned their former state of residence. The Florida Declaration of Domicile must be accompanied by proof of residency and can be used for various legal purposes, such as registering to vote or filing state taxes. There are two types of Florida Declaration of Domicile: a general form and a special form. The general form is used for individuals who are at least 18 years of age and who are physically present in Florida for at least 183 days in the year before filing. The special form is for individuals who are at least 62 years of age and who have owned a homestead property in Florida for at least one year. Both forms must be signed in front of a notary public.
