Which describes Florida residency for license purposes?

• A. Residency for 2 weeks
• B. Resided in Florida 4 months or more during the previous year, or intends to reside continuously 4+ months
• C. Non-residents can work in Florida
• D. Only property ownership matters

Answer: (B)

Residency for license purposes centers on where you actually live and plan to make your home. The best description is that you’re considered a Florida resident if you have resided in Florida for four months or more during the previous year, or if you intend to reside there continuously for at least four months. This focuses on actual presence and the intention to make Florida your home, not just owning property or visiting briefly. The other options don’t fit because spending only two weeks doesn’t meet the minimum period to establish domicile, ownership of property alone doesn’t prove residency, and being a non‑resident doesn’t determine your residency status for licensing. Establishing residency often involves living in Florida and showing intent to stay, which is what the four-month benchmark captures.
