====== 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 [[lifestyle:residence|residence]]** can affect vehicle inspections, what you pay for registration, auto and health insurance, etc.
