Eric Trump changed his official residence from New York to Florida in March, following in his father’s footsteps, according to a declaration of domicile filed with the Palm Beach County Clerk’s office.
Six days later, Eric and his wife Lara closed on a $3.2 million, five-bedroom home by Trump National Golf Club, Jupiter. Although the purchase has gained some attention, the fact that Eric officially changed his domicile does not appear to have been previously reported. “Yes, that is correct,” the former president’s son, who helps oversee the Trump Organization, confirmed in an email. “I’m out of New York. Leased my apartment, moved my family, put my kids in new school in Florida.”
Florida does not levy a state income tax, unlike New York, which taxes its highest earners at 8.82%.
Donald Trump, a lifelong New Yorker, switched his state of residence to Florida in 2019, tweeting “My family and I will be making Palm Beach, Florida, our permanent residence. I cherish New York, and the people of New York, and always will, but unfortunately, despite the fact that I pay millions of dollars in city, state and local taxes each year, I have been treated very badly by the political leaders of both the city and state.”
Don Jr. officially declared himself a Florida resident in December 2021, with his younger brother following three months later.
