My spouse is active duty and his current HOR is Arizona. His family recently moved, so we definitely won’t be moving back there when he retires. I’m still a Florida resident and we just recently moved from Washington to Georgia. I’m wondering if he can change his residence to Florida to match mine. I just started a new job and trying to figure out the state tax situation. My employer is saying in order for me to be able to be exempt from Georgia state taxes, my spouse and I and have to be residents of the same state. Just trying to figure out the best option for us long-term.

He can only change his HOR at his reenlistment

>The HOR may not be changed during a period of continuous active duty, regardless of changes in the member’s home address during the tour of active duty or enlistment.
>The HOR may be changed upon reenlistment or reentry into the Service, provided there is no overlap in reenlistment contracts and a break in service of more than 1 day has occurred (e.g.,member’s current enlistment expires on the 12th of the month and the member reenlists on the 14th of the month.)
AFAIK he can change his residency as long as he meets the new states residency requirements which vary wildly and can be different for military. as far as tax exemption goes I would use military One Source to get clarification.
