Nevada Residency
I own a home in Nevada which I rent out. I live and work (for the moment) in California. I'll move to Nevada in perhaps a year. Can I legally become a Nevada resident now...while still living and working in California?
Re: Nevada Residency
Your question is probably better thought of as regarding DISclaiming California residency that claiming Nevada residency, and therefore should be answered with reference to California law.
California will determine whether you reside here based on a combination of factors, including:
1. Where you actually hang your hat, i.e., where you spend the night most of the time;
2. Where you get a paycheck or run your business;
3. Where your car is registered;
4. Where you are registered to vote;
5. Where you get your mail;
6. Where your kids go to school;
7. The area code of your principal phone;
and similar factors, with the heaviest weight on #1. It is not a matter on which you can simply make an election; it is a question of fact.
