The quest for mail forwarding and possible residence change is complete! We analyzed Texas, South Dakota, and Florida. And we are going to stay with Florida. We found out that although insurance costs were a little bit lower in Texas and SD than Florida, registration cost were quite a bit higher than Florida. Texas has the disadvantage of vehicle inspections, and the need for a driving test for the motorhome. We would have been able to use our daughter for our mail forwarder, nice of her to offer, thanks, Kelly, but the rest took it out of the equation. Also Texas has the highest sales tax. SD has low sales tax, but you have to go there to initiate the change, and what do you do if you get a jury duty summons in mid February?
We found a mail forwarding outfit that was recommended by our good friends, Dick and Ann, so we should be signed up pretty soon. The nice thing is, it is in Sarasota, the same county as we are in now, so licenses, registrations, etc will only require an address change, not new ones. If someone happened to have a concealed carry permit in FL already.... nothing would change. Our voting will be the same as well.
It makes the most sense to us right now, we even will have our motorhome insurance go down a couple hundred dollars!
