What Is a Seasonal Resident of Florida?

To be considered a seasonal resident of Florida, you must:

• Reside in Florida for at least 31 consecutive days during each calendar year

• Maintain a temporary residence in Florida

• Return to the state of your permanent residence at least once during each calendar year

• Pay income tax or be registered to vote in another state

If you meet all of the above criteria, you may be considered a seasonal resident of Florida. Proving seasonal residency is a necessary step in getting your Florida medical marijuana card. Before being approved for a medical marijuana card, you must have all the documentation required to prove you are a seasonal resident.

Adult applicants (patients and caregivers) must submit a copy of a valid Florida driver license or Florida identification card.

For all forms of residency, the name and address on the document(s) provided must match the name and address provided in the application.

• A deed, mortgage, monthly mortgage statement, mortgage payment booklet or residential rental or lease agreement.
• One proof of residential address from the seasonal resident’s parent, step-parent, legal guardian or other person with whom the seasonal resident resides and a statement from the person with whom the seasonal resident resides stating that the seasonal resident does reside with him or her.
