Ne9balldan Posted March 29 Report Share Posted March 29 We are storing our motorhome for the summer at the Bushnell, Fl. Campground. The storing starts on April 1st to October 1st. The person at the office says we can’t leave until April 1st because we have to sign papers dated April 1st. Is there any reason we can’t sign the papers dated April 1st early so can leave on March 31st? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danfreda1 Posted March 29 Report Share Posted March 29 Try asking at the office instead of people who are not there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk W Posted March 29 Report Share Posted March 29 Legally there probably is no reason that you couldn't sign early but you will still need to work with the person in the office. Keep in mind that a friendly approach asking for some help is much more likely to be successful. Quote Good travelin !...............KirkFull-time 11+ years......

GeorgiaHybrid Posted March 29 Report Share Posted March 29 The transient tax for stays shorter than 6 months applys to the property and also changes their tax exemptions, rules on permanent vs transient housing, their business permits and possibly land use restrictions. Believe or not, some people try to get get out of their home state income taxes (I know, shocking....) by staying out of their home state for more than 6 months and claiming residency. For the transient tax info, read the following: https://law.justia.com/codes/florida/2021/title-xiv/chapter-212/section-212-03/ Quote 2017 Kenworth T6802015 DRV 38RSSA Elite Suites2016 Smart Prime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandsys Posted March 30 Report Share Posted March 30 You are asking them to risk their business status so you can leave one day early. I am curious as to why you want to do that.

Kirk W Posted March 30 Report Share Posted March 30 I wonder if the issue might be that you would be putting the RV into storage a day before your paid storage actually begins? How about if the storage period were to be March 31 through September 30? Just a thought. Quote Good travelin !...............KirkFull-time 11+ years......

How about if the storage period were to be March 31 through September 30? Just a thought. I don't know this for sure, but I thought the person stays on the same lot/space. Wouldn't the time living in the RV end when the storage started? Yes Florida does treat "Long term" space rent's different than storage or short term. I'm not sure how many days are required to be able to cut back on the "Tourism" tax I believe the parks have to pay for the short term rentals. If one person is allowed to leave early than another and another and another will think it's OK. When I wintered in Tallahassee they wanted me to sign the form indicating I was a long term renter over the winters.

Most parks that do storage have a separate lot for that so they can rent out all the camping spots when long-timers are gone.

Linda Wasn't the case at a few I stayed at in Florida. Park models and other trailers of all shapes and sizes with semi permeant stairs, decks and such. Never moved and not occupied in the summer months. I haven't been to Florida for over 8 year, so things most likely have changed.

2gypsies Posted April 1 Report Share Posted April 1 I don't know if this would affect you. Here are their Long-Term stay regulations. Long-Term means longer than 8 weeks. An excerpt: LONG-TERM STAY (LTS) POLICY Reservations that are made for a period that is longer than 8 weeks are considered Long-Term Stays. We will allow reservations for more than 8 weeks, but, should the customer cancels within the last 30 days prior to their original check-in date, the deposit cannot be refunded. https://escapeesrvparks.com/national-reservation-cancellation-policies/ Quote Full-timed for 16 YearsTraveled 8 yr in a 2004 Newmar Dutch Star 40' Motorhome and 8 yr in a 33' Travel Supreme 5th Wheel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't as they wish to put the RV into the storage yard and your quote is for people in the RV. And since they were desiring to leave on March 31, I'd guess than they are gone now.
