What
Constitutes Maryland Residency?
To be considered a Maryland
resident, your domicile must be in Maryland. Your domicile is the place
that you consider to be your 'official' or 'permanent' home, even though
it may be different from the place where you are actually living on a
short-term or temporary basis. Your domicile will ordinarily be the
address you use most frequently on tax returns or other government
documents, driver's license, bank accounts, charge accounts, for
insurance purposes, and so forth.
