It depends why you ask. If it is for the purpose of having certain immigration paperwork processed it is three months. If it is for in-state rates at college it is generally twelve months. Unless you can throw a ball in the right direction or to the right person and are of college age. Then you become a resident of North Carolina overnight and the hard-working taxpayers of NC get to pay for most of your education as you progress towards earning millions in pro sports.

It depends on the context and purpose.
Technically, you are a resident as soon as you move into the state with the intent of remaining there for a significant period (i.e. not a fixed-term short visit).
Some rules or laws require you to be a resident for a particular length of time before certain benefits or rights apply -- such as voting rights, in-state tuition rates, whatever.
