The Florida Declaration of Domicile is a legal document stating an individual's intent to live in Florida and make it their permanent residence. The document is filed at the county clerk's office and is used to prove domicile in the state. It is also used to establish residential property tax savings for non-residents who own property in Florida. There are two types of Florida Declaration of Domicile: initial declarations and renewal declarations. An initial declaration is made when an individual first establishes their domicile in Florida. A renewal declaration is filed every two years to maintain the individual's domicile status. The Declaration of Domicile must include the individual's full name, address, date of birth, Social Security number, and a signed statement declaring their intent to make Florida their permanent residence. The document must also be signed in the presence of two witnesses who are at least 18 years old, or a notary public.
