Second home in Colorado, how hard to qualify for in state tuition?

[Anonymous]

How hard is it to quality for in-state tuition, the second year of attending + if we own a 2nd house in Colorado/pay property taxes and have for 15 years? I have heard the student can establish residency and domicile after 12 months even without owning a home.

Do you live in CO over 50% of the time and pay state income taxes there? Where are you registered to vote and what state issued the license plates on your car? If CO is not the answer to all of the above, you won't qualify.

Even the second year? I read that the student can apply themselves the second year and establish residency through voting, address and license plate, after living themselves 12 months with the intent to "stay" as a resident.
Our second house is in Telluride. Paying property taxes for 10+ years.

Yes, they would. I'm wondering if after 12 months of out of state tuition, they can change their residency using our second home and doing some of the steps mentioned like registering their license and voting status in state their freshman year, if anyone has been successful in getting state residency. As I mentioned we pay property taxes and have for a decade.

I did. We do plan to live there most of the year when our kids go to college and would be retired so perhaps it's an option for us. I think our situation is a little different under consideration because we actually owned a home for over a decade prior to the kid attending. I am asking to see if there are people in the same situation who have tried and what the outcome has been.

Is it your actual domicile?

Friends in California were in a similar situation with a home they owned in Texas. Their DC ended up at UT Austin and they were able to claim in-state tuition starting in sophomore year.

Sounds like it's not worth the trouble for the cost, for someone who has a second home in Telluride.

If you don't sever ties with your current state, that may be an issue. Would you sell your current home?

TX has different rules and is notoriously more lenient.
