I found "The Florida Domicile Handbook" and "The Official Snowbird's Guide to Becoming a Florida Resident" (both available on Amazon) very helpful in educating myself about this process. Claiming Florida to be your home state is more complicated then just being there for 180 days if you don't want to risk being audited by your previous home state, especially if you are keeping the old residence there. Good luck with the move!
