Georgia State Taxes

Choosing Georgia as an RV Domicile State




Georgia state taxes are important to consider when deciding on what state you want for your RV domicile or home base. Other considerations for full time RV families include how to homeschool in Georgia, and Georgia drivers license and Georgia auto insurance requirements.

The nice thing about having no ties to any state is the ability to choose your RV domicile, or RV home base. You can find a state that offers the best set of options for you and your family, depending on your individual needs. Of course, not every full time RV family has the ability or option of choosing their domicile. See the following page to determine if your domicile has been chosen for you:
