domicile

Domicile is the place where a person or entity has its primary, permanent home or principal place of business. Domicile is important in the law for determining the state and county in which a person or entity may be sued, vote, and is obligated to pay taxes. For a person with multiple homes or different places of residence, domicile is the place the person plans to return to after being away, and may be indicated by the place where the person maintains important services and relationships, such as banking, driver’s license registration, incorporation, and work/employment. A person or entity is said to be a domiciliary of the domicile.

In Minnesota, domicile is legally recognized as the location where an individual has their primary and permanent home, or where an entity has its principal place of business. This concept is crucial for various legal determinations, including jurisdiction for lawsuits, voting rights, and tax obligations. For individuals with multiple residences, the domicile is typically the home they intend to return to and is evidenced by factors such as where they have their bank accounts, where their driver's license is registered, where they work, and where they have significant connections. An individual or entity is considered a domiciliary of the state and county where their domicile is established. Minnesota law, like that of other states, uses these indicators to determine domicile for legal purposes.
