[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]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?[/quote]

No we wouldn't. I guess I just don't see the big drawback, if we are retired at this point, to changing our primary residence and we would already be living about half the year in each state. Since we have owned the home for so long, a lot of the proof of domicile is already available (proof of address, utilities).

You’ll probably want to move before attending:

No person may establish domicile in Colorado solely for the purpose of changing a student's classification for tuition purposes from nonresident to resident.

Absent clear and convincing evidence to the contrary, it is presumed that a student classified as a nonresident at the time of matriculation who seeks to establish Colorado domicile while registered at CU seeks Colorado domicile solely for tuition purposes, which is an unlawful purpose [Colorado Revised Statutes § 23-7-101-103(2)(e)].[/quote]

I see your point but it's case by case and I think owning a home for over a decade in the state holds quite a bit of weight. It's a lot different situation than just living in the dorm and then renting and trying to claim your rental residence as your primary home.

:roll: no, it does not. Speaking as a long-time Colorado taxpayer, we really don't care about you owning a vacation home in Telluride that would be much better used by an actual member of the community. [/quote]

Yes and the student would be working + living in Telluride in the summer, including prior to freshman year. Paying taxes as a member of the community. I left home for college and never returned to my hometown even for a year. I married and started a family here. As others mentioned, we will apply and let the university decide. [/quote]

This is what happens if you don’t tell the full truth when you apply-

This is not at all the situation. He was claiming two states of residency for two children to obtain in state tuition. We actually do own two homes, neither purchased with the intent of in state tuition, as I mentioned we have owned a decade there and live between two states with one child. Child does not plan to return to home after. We plan to retire in Colorado as well.

You have obviously made up your mind. Good luck, but you’re playing with fire. [/quote]

I think you’re overthinking this. Some brought up going to jail for a felony? This is a college residency team reviewing applications every day and making a decision based on various factors like where the applicant has worked, home ownership, etc. They decide yes or no based on the facts information provided.

Ever heard of fraud? [/quote]
