Are you considered a resident of the State California if sell your home?

Selling your home does not automatically change your residency status in California. Residency for tax purposes is determined by a variety of factors such as domicile, physical presence, and intent. To establish residency in California, you must be physically present in the state for more than half of the taxable year (183 days or more) and intend to make California your permanent home. Simply selling your home does not affect your residency status unless you also take other steps to indicate a change in domicile, such as registering to vote, obtaining a California driver's license, or filing your taxes as a California resident. It's important to consult with a tax professional or refer to the California Franchise Tax Board (FTB) guidelines for more accurate information about residency determination.
