Wherever you live, don’t move. If your house burns down, stay on the empty lot. It will save you a lot of time and money. The problem is that when you move, you have to get everything from the old to the new - insurance, mail, bank, taxes, voter registration, auto registration, etc.
Because I qualify for a "grumpy old man" exemption on my property taxes and homestead exemption in Texas, I have to file a claim. Sounds simple, but there’s a form for that. First, one must have a form from the auto registration people to prove that you have moved to where you say you are. If you don’t have a vehicle, then one must have a copy of a utility bill and a notarized affidavit that states you don’t have a vehicle. Question, if you don’t have a vehicle, how are you going to go to a notary to get the affidavit?
Once you have the required requirements in hand, you get to fill out another form which is several pages. And, before you submit all that you have to have a tax ceiling certificate, another form, from the previous county of residence.
Don’t move. You’ll spend the rest of your life filling out forms.
