Learn how Your Tax Base helps you establish Florida residency with a residential address, mail forwarding, and documentation support.

Key Takeaways

  • Get a real Florida residential address (not a PO Box)
  • Complete setup in 1-2 weeks with our guided process
  • Plans start at $55/month with mail forwarding included
  • We handle Form 1583 notarization and Declaration of Domicile filing

Overview

Your Tax Base provides everything you need to establish and maintain Florida residency. Our service includes a real Florida residential address, mail handling, and support with residency documentation.

What You Get

1. Florida Residential Address

We provide you with a real Florida residential address at an RV & Mobile Home community. This is NOT a PO Box or commercial mail receiving agency (CMRA). This matters because:

  • The Florida DMV requires a residential address for your driver's license
  • Banks and financial institutions reject CMRA addresses
  • A residential address is stronger proof of domicile for tax purposes
Why This Matters: A residential address is critical for establishing domicile. PO Boxes and commercial mail services don't provide the legal foundation needed for a defensible tax residency.

2. Mail Handling & Forwarding

We handle your mail professionally:

  • Essential Plan: Weekly mail forwarding - sufficient for establishing Florida residency and getting your driver's license
  • Tax Guardian Plan: Digital mail scanning - see your mail online before forwarding
  • Premium Plan: Full mail management with on-demand forwarding anywhere in the world

3. Declaration of Domicile

We help you file the Florida Declaration of Domicile with your county clerk. This is a legal document that declares Florida as your permanent home.

4. Form 1583 Processing

We handle the USPS Form 1583 (required for mail forwarding) with online notarization through our partner, Proof.com.

Tip: You can complete Form 1583 notarization entirely online - no need to visit a notary in person. The process takes about 15 minutes.
