Anyone domicile in Utah?
Hi - We're hoping to go full time in the not-so-distant future while we search for our next permanent location. We really like Utah so we're wondering about pros/cons to set up domicile there since we actually might end up there. I'd be surprised if we end up full timing for more than 2 years, but I suppose you never know. Anyone have any thoughts on Utah to share?

With family located in Utah, I spend a lot of time there during all the seasons. One of the largest considerations would be the location you are considering. The Moab, St. George, Kanab areas in the south have relatively mild winters, but can have blistering hot summers. Anything farther north, and you'll have more mild summers, but severe winters.

We are spending more and more time in Utah, but the 4% income tax is a turn off.

Aside from taxes, healthcare options, and where your address is, there are other factors to consider.
Along the Wasatch Front (Weber, Davis, Salt Lake, and Utah Counties) there are annual vehicle emissions inspections. Cache County requires them every two years for vehicles 6 years old and older. At the moment, Utah County exempts diesel trucks, but I hear that is changing. The state recently eliminated the annual safety inspection. It is relatively easy to register an ATV as street-legal, but you do have to have lights, horn, mirrors, turn signals, and at least a 1/2 windshield.
Vehicle registration includes an age-based fee.
Finding an RV lot in Utah can be done, but most of them are in 55+ parks/resorts.

Sorry, that's every other year until 6 years for the inspection, then every year.

The thing you have to watch is luxury tax. You generally pay income taxes to the state you work in. But I was curious about Utah. Do they charge a luxury tax on RVs or cars?

tags and registration is expensive in Utah and insurance is crazy expensive. There is a saying, "Utah drivers".
Texas is much cheaper all the way around, without reservation, unequivocal.Extra Class Ham Operator WB0YD

I believe TX requires a safety inspection on vehicles including trailers? Utah has no such requirement.
Utah allows towing on a standard DL. I believe that over 10,000 in TX requires something additional?
There are trade-offs all over.
