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

Key Takeaways

  • Get a real Florida residential street address (not a PO Box, not a CMRA)
  • 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 prepare your Declaration of Domicile for you to file

Overview

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

What You Get

1. Florida Residential Address

We provide you with a real Florida residential street 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
  • Many banks flag 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 CMRA addresses don't provide the legal foundation needed for a defensible tax residency.

2. Mail Handling & Forwarding

Every envelope is scanned to your dashboard. Forwarding is on request: nothing ships automatically, you choose what to forward from your dashboard, and requests are processed in 1-2 business days. What each plan forwards:

  • Essential Plan: Essential government and financial mail: IRS notices, letters and checks, state notices, bank statements, and credit and debit cards
  • Tax Guardian Plan: Mail for you, your family, and one business
  • Premium Plan: Everything in Tax Guardian, with a dedicated coordinator who knows your file

3. Declaration of Domicile

We prepare your Florida Declaration of Domicile and give you your county's filing steps. This is a legal document that declares Florida as your permanent home; you sign it before a notary and file it with your county clerk, by mail if you like.

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.

How It Works

Step 1: Sign Up

Complete our online application in about 10 minutes. Provide basic information and select your plan.

Step 2: Verify Identity

Complete Form 1583 with online notarization through Proof.com. This authorizes your separate USPS-registered mailbox to receive your mail.

Step 3: Get Your Address

Receive your real Florida residential street address. Start using it immediately for new accounts and services.

Step 4: File Documents

We prepare your Declaration of Domicile for filing with the county clerk.

Step 5: Complete Residency

Get your Florida driver's license and register to vote to complete your domicile establishment.

Compare all plan features

Good to know: The Essential plan is fully sufficient for establishing Florida residency and getting your driver's license: that's all most customers need. Many start with Essential and upgrade later if they want additional mail features.

Timeline

Most clients complete their Florida residency setup within 1-2 weeks:

  • Day 1: Sign up and start application
  • Days 2-5: Complete Form 1583 and identity verification
  • Days 5-7: Receive your Florida address
  • Days 7-14: Visit a Florida DMV office in person and get your driver's license (Declaration of Domicile can be filed same day)
Typically 1-2 Weeks From signup to Florida driver's license; the license step is one in-person DMV visit
