To fully establish Florida residency for tax purposes, New York generally expects you to sever key ties to the state — such as your primary home, voter registration, and driver's license — not just spend time in Florida.
For a move of this distance, a long-distance moving company that handles the full route — rather than a rental truck you drive yourself — is usually the more practical option, especially if packing an entire household is part of the job. Premier Movers' long-distance service covers pickup in New York through delivery in Jacksonville.
