Florida panhandle. Florida needs more freedom loving conservatives. Plus we don't have a state income tax.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Florida panhandle. Florida needs more freedom loving conservatives. Plus we don't have a state income tax. That was the part that was having us look at stuart. Kentucky I've got my state income (5%) local income (2.75) local school (1%), then a 3.25% property tax, and personal property tax to register my car every year. Really getting tired of giving up that much of my income and still have a bunch of other local taxes. Most places pick one or the other, they chose both in my area |

When I lived in MI, there was no personal property tax on vehicles, but the licensing fees were higher. There was only a 6% flat sales tax and no tax at the grocery stores, but fuel taxes were higher and property tax on a similar home to the one I have here in the KC area would have been nearly double. Granted, I've never actually sat down to do the numbers. But it sure seems like they get you one way or the other. |

Florida, yeah, everybody moves there or vacations there.
Go somewhere that would make for a great story and adventure. Move to Anchorage Alaska. |

Doing the basic math it would put about $16k back in my pocket a year right out the gate to buy a house the same price in florida, and $11k in texas. Lexington's taxes are pretty crazy |

Panhandle isn't too-too bad with tourists... and most of the tourists you do see are from nearby states. I swear , at least half the license plates I see around Tampa in the summer time are from up north , and lets just say.... they drive different.

Is your air travel domestic or international?
My biggest consideration is non-stop service to major airports without having to connect, even for domestic. |

Florida is getting ready to pass some serious fucking gun restrictions.
Meanwhile Ohio just expanded their gun rights. Live out in the country (in a township) and you will have very little zoning to contend with, and very low taxes. I could build a detached garage on my property without a permit. I'm outside South Vienna, which is 45mins from Columbus airport (one of the easiest in and ourts in the country), with Cincinnati (1.5hrs) and Dayton (45mins) both reasonable airport options, too. School system is fantastic, and building new schools currently. Stay South of I-70 and snow is not really an issue. |

The rural areas in the Florida panhandle are severely lacking in high speed internet service and there is no real effort to improve that situation. Good houses with enough acreage to shoot do not come up for sale very often and are very expensive. Leave a vehicle outside year round and all the small plastic parts on it will melt in a few years. Now if you want to drive junk and live in a house trailer without internet the rural panhandle is for you. Because of the huge military presence there, good airports are within your range.
We have been looking at property in the panhandle for 5 years because we have children with grandchildren that moved to the area. If I were you, I would move as close to the cmp range in Talladega as possible but where you still have high speed internet. That area is going to be one of the last to go blue and it is easy to drive to the airport in Birmingham. I do not know the range situation in Huntsville, Alabama but that area for the same reasons. |

Dothan has high-speed internet. We had fiber to our house.
Depending where you are 1.5 hours to feet in the sand at PCB. 45 minutes to Tally. 3.5 hours to Atlanta. In 15 minutes you can cross the Ga or Fl state lines. The only problem is Dothan airport is regional only so you fly to ATL and catch a connector. You can drive to Montgomery or FL. Pretty cheap to live. Low property tax, high sales tax @9% though. Cheap food, and gas. |

No state or local taxes. $30 to renew vehicle registration. Sales tax is a bit steep at 9.25% Housing costs are not too bad but it's a sellers market and it may take a while to find what you want. Outside the city internet speeds are not as fast but decent. |

Well, didn’t realize the extra taxes when we bought our place in Rockcastle county back in sept. I’ll be paying an extra 2.5% in income tax, which sucks..... Only caveat is the deal we got on the property, almost half as much as what the same thing in TN would have cost us. I don’t miss the 9.5% sales tax we experienced at Fort Campbell on the TN side.

You're welcome up here. People badmouth New England, but the small, homogenously populated, cold-weather states up north are usually pretty clean and safe places to live. Statehouse just flipped R and R Governor was re-elected easily. We need more conservatives to flip the federal seats.

I loved living in Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts and Vermont. 3 reasons why we would never move back (my wife is from the New England area as well) cold hard winters, cost of living, and increasing gun laws seeping in (at least in Vermont, don't have any friends in NH anymore). Love where we are now, pretty rural, shoot on my own land and close to a city with a population of 180k (not big, but not too small with good medical care). Thing is, our high speed interenet connection sucks big time. We are on the list for fiber, but phone company has no idea what year. |
