Relocate to Central Florida

Moving to Florida

Florida has no state income tax, no capital gains tax, no estate tax, and no inheritance tax, which is why it is the number one destination for households leaving higher-tax states. Sean and Barb help buyers from across the country relocate to Central Florida luxury markets, with state by state tax comparisons, a residency and domicile roadmap, and a fully remote home search. Choose your state below to see exactly what changes and where people are buying.

What you keep when you move to Florida

Your State Income Tax Savings

How much do you save by moving to Florida? Florida has no state income tax, so on a $350,000 income you keep about $29,000 a year compared to California, about $21,000 compared to New York, and about $20,000 compared to New Jersey - and more once local taxes like New York City's are added on top. Over ten years the California gap alone is nearly $290,000. Pick your state, enter your income, and the calculator below runs your exact number.
