Your North Carolina income tax would not be eliminated if you are earning money while in North Carolina - even if you become a Florida resident.

If your home in North Carolina is larger than the one in The Villages, you might end up paying more in property tax in NC since you cannot have 2 houses as primary residence for claiming homestead exemption.

You would have to check on the car insurance through your own insurance company to make comparisons. It is not cheap to register a car in Florida - and be prepared to have ALL the required information and documents when you go for the license and registration. It is a lot of hassle that kicked in beginnng in 2010.
