The Free Relocation Guide.
Communities · costs · taxes · insurance · the 45-day plan
Request the companion to this website: a condensed, printable version of the Complete Moving Guide, built for the person who wants one document to read on the plane. It covers the communities, the costs, the taxes, the insurance picture, and the 45-day move-in timeline. Kim sends it by email, in a short note, usually the same day.

What is inside
Six chapters, zero fluff
-
The 16 communities compared
Fees, golf, water access, and price bands for the island and mainland communities, in one table.
-
A real cost of living
Housing medians, utility patterns, insurance expectations, and the fees that repeat every year.
-
The tax chapter
Social Security, retirement deductions, the 4% assessment, and the homestead exemption, with the forms named.
-
The insurance chapter
Flood zones, elevation certificates, wind coverage, and the hurricane-season plan.
-
The 45-day timeline
Licenses, registration, utilities, and the tax filings in the order the deadlines hit.
-
The scouting trip plan
A two-day itinerary that compares the island and the mainland fairly, and the questions to ask each community.
The guide is free. There is no mailing list to join; the only follow-up is Kim's personal note when the guide lands, and a calendar link if you want the relocation call.
