Where do I live...according to the IRS and all? I need tags for my car ...like NOW and totally forgot that Colorado require emissions testing and I won't be there to do it until at least mid Feb. I wonder if I can plate my car here. Does that make me a SoDak resident? Does this mean I have to change my DL and a bunch of other crap I don't want to deal with? What determines residency? I claim Colo as home for my current insurance purposes and my house is there...but now that I'm renting...

Anyway..I could probably just look this up ...or I could ask you. So I am asking you.
 
I think all states have their own set of rules but when I talk to clients the one thing I always go with is intent. Just because you own property in CO that you lived in 5 years ago it doesn't make you a CO resident.

To be safe, I'd say you are a SD resident for tax purposes. (multi-state return). I do not know how that affects you DL and auto registration tags. I'd make a quick call to the DMV in SD and ask if it is ok. I'd guess you eventually have to change it up.

FWIW, this is much less common in Hawaii when to move you have to catch a plane and have your car shipped via slow ass boat. We can't just drive to another state and move....pretty extensive here

I think she is saying she used to live in Colorado and her vehicle is registered there, now she's wondering if she should register her vehicle in South Dakota.

Oh thanks. I think you should ask the DMV in the state you are currently living. They usually allow a certain time 6-12 months to switch plates. If you don't after that time the cops will start pulling you over and you will be getting tickets.

Well technically I "live" in Colorado. I am here staying with my mom and that has turned into two years. My home and all my possessions are in Colorado. My car has Colorado plates and my mail goes to Colorado and is forwarded by a friend.

If I plate my car here due to inability to get back to Colorado in the next 2 weeks, I worry that I am establishing "residency" here and that may screw up things in other areas ie. my insurance plan etc. I just don't know what state I am considered to be a resident of at this point. I am here but technically I live in Colorado....and would like to keep it that way for now.

You mean I get a grace period on the tags which expired at the end of 2013? Colorado automatically gives you 30 days. I would just automatically renew the tags for Colorado but they require an emissions test every 2 years to make sure my car is not adding to pollution. I am just trying to avoid it appearing that I truly LIVE in SoDak for now for various reasons ..but maybe just plating a car here doesn't mean that I am considered to be a resident of the state.?

It sounds like you are referring to a move to another state and they allow you that time period to get plates ffrom that state. I have not officially moved in theory , and would prefer not to right now for various reasons...but I have to have valid tags!
 
NM. I got it

Colorado residents who are out of state at the time they are supposed to renew their registration can apply for an extension or get an emissions test from another state.

Many states have their own emissions testing program. Out-of state-residents will need to get an emissions test from the state where they are currently staying.

If the state you are in does not have emissions inspection requirements, you can apply for a temporary exemption. The exemption will allow you to renew your registration, but you will be required to pass an emissions test within 15 days of returning to Colorado
 
I may be wrong with intent as IAG seems like she intends to go back.

maybe i'm too close the individual in question, but I don't see this 2 year move as "temporary" with the intent to go back to colorado.

if you are "temporarily" in SD but do not know where you want to "permanently" be, then SD is your state.

Just move over to Hawaii...you can be in my marketing department...i need clients!
 
I will not be moving back to Denver that I can see. But I don't want to screw up my insurance or anything by doing anything that would constitute me being a SoDak official resident. My next move would probably be to Tennessee. I'll work my way to the 808 some day.
