I Have a ?
My home address is Texas and we are in Nevada. We are looking to buy a Used Motorhome here in Nevada. Am I gonna have to change my residency to Nevada to purchase here? We wont be back in Texas till next year most likely. I really would like to keep Texas as my primary residency.

You can buy a vehicle anywhere in the country and have it titled in whatever state you have residency in. After you have taken possession of the vehicle title it needs to be sent or taken to the motor vehicle office in the state (Texas in this case) where you live. I assume it could be done by mail, but it would be easier if you could send it to someone with power of attorney who could do the paperwork for you.

OK thats good to know. Sending it to someone there is no prob. My other ? with this is, what about registration and inspection tags? I know in Texas you are required to have those.

Seeing how you're going to be in NV for over 1/2 the year, that could pose some problems.
I think I'd be contacting a licensing agency in TX...answers here are likely to be guesswork at best.

When you get it registered in Texas you will pay the sales tax along with registration, Texas tags and a current window sticker. It does not have to have a safety inspection until it comes back into the state.
All done through the vehicle registration office in your county of residence. I would call the county vehicle registration office.

No, you don't have to change your residency. You didn't say what county you are in, but most counties will work with you to register the vehicle by mail. I know that Polk County does this for lots and lots of Escapees. That said, are you planning on staying in Nevada for an extended period of time? If so, then you need to rethink your status.
