...Florida. The Sunshine State. America's own tropical delight - beautiful people with even more beautiful homes.
So, you're thinking of moving to Florida? Well, you're not alone. Approximately 1400 people are moving to the state each and every day! Making Florida one of the fastest growing states in the US.
Most of these newcomers become permanent year round residents, while others become "snowbirds". (Those who only live in the state during the northern winter months and then return home to their primary residence state when summer comes.)
Three of the top reasons for moving to Florida are for the weather, recreation & Most Important....................NO STATE INCOME TAX!!!!
They are dirty words in Florida when you string them together: "income" and "tax."
It's another good reason why millions of Americans are moving to this first-class tax haven. Warm weather isn't the only reason Florida is now the third-most-populous state in the Union (behind California and Texas). Its own constitution prohibits an income tax. The sales tax is 6%.
Not having an income tax can be a very big saving. With its Homestead protections, Florida's full-time residents over 65 have the security that their property taxes will not go up more than the rate of inflation.
Welcome to Sunny Florida!
America's Tax Haven...
