PRIMARY RESIDENCE

A person's 'primary residence' is the dwelling where they usually live, typically a house or an apartment. A person can only have one ''primary'' residence at any given time, though they may share the residence with other people. A primary residence is considered as a legal residence for the purpose of income tax and/or acquiring a mortgage.
Criteria for a primary residence consist mostly of guidelines rather than hard rules, and residential status is often determined on a case-by-case basis. Possible factors include:

★ mailing address,

★ telephone listing,

★ time spent at residence per year,

★ voting registration,

★ location of personal effects, and

★ stated purpose of residence on insurance policies.
