How do you claim state residency in Ohio?

Question

I may be going to grad school there in the future and I am going to try to move there 2-3 before I start classes, how do I claim Ohio state residency?

Oops! I meant 2-3 months. Not years, sorry if that caused confusion.

Answer 1

here is the legalese. Looks like they expect 12 months before you can get in-state tuition.

A "resident of Ohio for all other legal purposes" shall mean any person who maintains a 12-month place or places of residence in Ohio, who is qualified as a resident to vote in Ohio and receive state welfare benefits, and who may be subjected to tax liability under Section 5747.02 of the Revised Code, provided such person has not, within the time prescribed by this rule, declared himself or herself to be or allowed himself or herself to remain a resident of any other state or nation for any of these or other purposes.

Answer 2

hey, i'm doing the same thing for unc law. great minds i suppose--

the thing i'm doing is first, you get an ohio state driver's license. find a place to live in ohio (probably columbus, no need to move more than necessary). register to vote at your new address. get a job in ohio, and keep your pay stubs. if you're going to be around for a few years, keep a copy of your ohio state tax returns.

showing those forms will undoubtedly get you the residency you're looking for.

otherwise, you might want to call the graduate school, see if you can get a copy of the residency form a few years ahead of time, just in case i missed something.

good luck.

Are you constructive you % to? you will could desire to pay Ohio taxes in case you do, something that human beings so often attempt to get out of, that they've a rule touching directly to the variety of days you may stay in Ohio in the previous paying them for the snowbirds.

Answer 4

I'm not really sure I understand your question but just move there, Its my understanding that if you're an American citizen or are here legally, you can go to any state you want to. Its the United States. Its not like going from Finland to Germany for example.

Answer 5

Register your mailing address there ASAP. That's what they primarily go by, I think you have to live somewhere for a year though to qualify for in-state tuition.

Answer 6

who'd want too.
