When I first read this thread I got concerned because we'll be doing this is a couple of weeks.....(insert Yippee!!!).
After doing their website thing, (
www.gathergoget.com) it looks pretty easy for us.....having current passports seems to help a lot.
I"ll bring our passports, our Florida house deed, SS cards, a few other things. That website walks you through what you will need.
The cost is high compared to NY, but in the end my utility costs, WAY LOWER taxes, no annual car inspection,etc will make up for it.
Bottom line...it costs money to live. Anywhere. I can deal with it....better then not living.
Eleven days until we leave NY for good to live in Florida....can't wait!!
