Legal domicile
A domicile is
- where your drivers and concealed carry licences are issued
- where you can be registered to vote
- where your vehicles are titled
- where you pay state income tax, if any
- used to calculate base sales tax for online or mail order transactions
Note: the county of your residence can affect vehicle inspections, what you pay for registration, auto and health insurance, etc.
