Default yes, if you claim Florida residency

you will probably lose any residency advantages from the other state, but you should check as each state's laws may differ. Our summer home is in Ohio - we cannot get the 2.5% resident occupied reduction on our property tax there, but we are much better off being Florida residents to get the $25,000 (I believe it's per person) homestead exemption here and no state income tax.

Everyone's tax situation is different.
