We have state income tax here but we live near a military base and there are families here with Texas, Oregon and Florida tags on their cars...mostly because as members of the military, can establish residency in those states with no state tax. All legal. A neighbor (not in the military) though bought a 45' travel trailer, new diesel pick-up truck and licensed both of them in Oregon because of the tax laws....using a relative's address as his mailing address to avoid the taxes. Not legal. And a burden on taxpayers who pay local taxes. ja > > I don't know if this applies to your ancestors or not.
