Oregon Domicile: Fill & Download for Free

If you are domiciled in Oregon, or if you maintain a residence in Oregon and spend more than 200 days in Oregon during the tax year, you are an Oregon resident. You are domiciled in Oregon if you consider Oregon to be your home and if you intend to return there after an absence. Generally speaking, if you do things that indicate that you live in Oregon - for example, if you have an Oregon driver's license, or you are registered to vote there, or you bank there - the law will treat you as having a domicile in Oregon.If you have an Oregon domicile, you can still be treated as a nonresident, provided that you do not maintain a permanent residence in Oregon for yourself or your family for any part of the year, you maintain a permanent residence outside of Oregon for the entire year, and you spend fewer than 31 days in Oregon. Note that even one day of permanent residence in Oregon for you, or for a spouse or dependent child, disqualifies you from consideration as a nonresident.Oregon residents are taxed on all of their source income regardless of where that income originates. Oregon nonresidents are taxed only on Oregon source income.In order to become a nonresident of Oregon, you would have to show intent to permanently abandon your Oregon domicile, and to move your domicile elsewhere. Generally, you do that by acquiring a new residence outside of Oregon, being physically present there, and taking steps to transfer your personal activities to the new domicile.

Been There, Won That Fight..I am a Right And Proper Asswhole.It is perfectly legal to put a sign on a truck claiming you have no responsibility for debris coming off your truck, or any damage it causes.. and such signs carry exactly zero legal weight in court.Posting such gaslit signs (IMO) shouldn't be legal, but it is. Such signs are also incredibly stupid and absolutely loaded with hubris.. which fact I pointed out to a judge, to the great dismay of the trucking company attorney, right before his Honor ordered said trucking company to pay for the full cost of my windshield and repainting my truck as well as my court costs and my daily rate for the days the truck was in the shop. Had they simply paid up on the paint and windshield the bill would have been about half what they paid.Yes, I'm mean to would be bullies.Now.. those signs only apply to the entirely credulous who can't or won't read what the laws say.. and at least in Oregon, you absolutely are legally responsible for damage caused by debris coming off your truck and busting a window or denting body work… even if your truck is in mud often, due to the type of loads you haul (Loggers: it might serve you to take note here at minimum, under the law, y'all need to take a minute and knock the big chunks off.. at a minimum)This is what I said to his Honor when it was my turn:Such signs are simply an admission by those posting them that they know about the hazards they are creating by not cleaning off mud or rocks accumulated off road (Aka: Willful refusal to mitigate a KNOWN problem) and that they fully INTEND to continue violations of the following law:2020 Oregon Revised Statutes(1) A person commits the crime of offensive littering if the person creates an objectionable stench or degrades the beauty or appearance of property or detracts from the natural cleanliness or safety of property by intentionally: (a) Discarding or depositing any rubbish, trash, garbage, debris or other refuse upon the land of another without permission of the owner, or upon any public way or in or upon any public transportation facility; (b) Draining, or causing or permitting to be drained, sewage or the drainage from a cesspool, septic tank, recreational or camping vehicle waste holding tank or other contaminated source, upon the land of another without permission of the owner, or upon any public way; or (c) Permitting any rubbish, trash, garbage, debris or other refuse to be thrown from a vehicle that the person is operating.

He also suggested that I might do well as an attorney.Disclaimer: I am not an attorney and this isn't legal advice. It is the maunderings of some interwebz rando who has been through that particular mill and how I handled it. More particularly, because I don't have a JD and you didn't pay me, I am not YOUR attorney. If you need legal advice go thee out from thine domicile and hire thyself an actual attorney. Post Haste.

You mean like I have been doing for eight years? Yes.A couple caveats.Most states require you to have a legal residence to make it your state of domicile. They will want a physical address where you live, not a mail forwarding service. Some states will be really picky about this, some will not be.There are businesses set up to help RVs establish domicile in various states. Most of them are legal.There are also whole businesses set up around providing mailing services to those who live in an RV. RV Mail Forwarding Services: 6 Ways to Get Your MailMy home state of Oregon recognizes that we are residents of Oregon with no physical address. Our driver’s licenses say “CONTINUOUS TRAVELER” on it.My physical address is simply Salem, Oregon. No further information. I think Oregon might be unique in this.The state also recognizes that homeless people have a right to vote, but they don’t have a physical address either. So for voting I just have to list the RV park, or Walmart, or street corner where we often stay while in Oregon. Really. Of course, we only do vote by mail in Oregon, there are no polling places.Finally, being a CONTINUOUS TRAVELER removes us from the jury pool since we are seldom in the state.
