I’m interested in hearing your story of settling up with, and disengaging from, your home state tax collecting system whether Virginia or other, what you used as your transition-to-Florida date, and any advice to avoid pitfalls. Many thanks in advance.

In 1986 I moved from Great Falls, VA to another state. I had no income tax problem with VA but since I resided in Fairfax County I had to pay an additional tax yearly on my vehicle registration for which the county issued a windshield sticker. Although I never paid any attention the tax must have been applied in arrears as a few years later I received a bill from Fairfax County with penalties, interest and collection fees tacked on from a law firm and had to deal with that.
By the way, OP, were you by any chance a patent examiner at the USPTO in Crystal City or a government patent attorney? I was an examiner at the USPTO long, long ago.
