Trump, Lifelong New Yorker, Declares Himself a Resident of Florida

[Elderberry]

NY Times by Maggie Haberman 10/31/2019

The president filed a “declaration of domicile” last month saying that his property in Palm Beach will be his permanent residence.

He came of age in Queens, built Trump Tower, starred in “The Apprentice,” bankrupted his businesses six times, and drew cheering crowds and angry protesters to Fifth Avenue after his election. Through it all, President Trump — rich, bombastic and to many Americans the epitome of a New Yorker — was intertwined with the city he called his lifelong home.

No longer.

In late September, Mr. Trump changed his primary residence from Manhattan to Palm Beach, Fla., according to documents filed with the Palm Beach County Circuit Court. Melania Trump, the first lady, also changed her residence to Palm Beach in an identical document.

Each of the Trumps filed a “declaration of domicile” saying that the Mar-a-Lago Club, Mr. Trump’s resort in Palm Beach, will be their permanent residence.

President Donald Trump, a lifelong New Yorker, has switched his primary residence from Manhattan to Palm Beach, Florida, according to the New York Times.

Documents filed with the Palm Beach County Circuit Court show the president and first lady Melania Trump submitted a “declaration of domicile” stating their permanent residence is the Mar-a-Lago Club.

“If I maintain another place or places of abode in some other state or states, I hereby declare that my above-described residence and abode in the State of Florida constitutes my predominant and principal home, and I intend to continue it permanently as such,” the president’s document reportedly reads. “I formerly resided at 721 Fifth Avenue,” the filing adds in reference to Trump Tower in New York.

An unnamed source conveyed to the Times that the couple’s decision to change his primary residence was for tax purposes.

Wise move for several reasons. 

[kevindavis007]

Don't blame him.   I guess he is the first President to be from Florida, and I think the first sitting President to move a primary residence from one state to another while in office.

He is from New York as he was born in NYC, not Florida.

You are proving my point.

Florida has no state tax nor tax on pensions, I'm surprised they stayed in NY for as long as they did.

Welcome to Florida President Trump and first Lady Melania.  Our governor that you supported is doing one heck of a job!  Glad you're here.

I didn't know you had a point.  Is snark a point now?

IMHO the President has changed, yes, he will always have his NY roots, but I believe he's also learned from them and probably has realized what a cesspool it really is.

I don't think he's changed a whit.

Why Trump's kids are probably celebrating his move to Florida

President Trump announced a move Thursday night that’s popular with billionaires.

In a series of tweets, President Trump said he has moved his permanent residence to Palm Beach, Fla., and said he had been “treated very badly by the political leaders of both the city and state” of New York. “Few have been treated worse,” he said, through he added New York “will always have a special place in my heart!”

The New York Times first reported the move, citing documents filed in Florida by Trump and his wife, Melania, that said their primary residence was now Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort. The Times reported the move was primarily for tax purposes. Florida does not have a state income tax or inheritance tax. The Times also said the move will not affect the effort by New York’s attorney general to try to obtain Trump’s federal tax records.

Florida is one of seven states with no state income tax, according to Gibbs Law Office, an estate-planning firm based in the state. “When combined with the warm climate, the friendly tax policy that allows for no income taxes and no Florida estate and inheritance taxes makes Florida an immensely popular retirement destination,” it says.
 
“Estate and inheritance taxes in Florida work essentially the same way,” the firm adds. “The state government doesn’t charge any ‘federal death tax,’ but qualifying Florida estates are still responsible for estate taxes owed to the federal government. And Florida residents who inherit property from out-of-state may still have to pay inheritance taxes to the other state.”
