Do I have to do anything special to move out of state?
I want to leave Florida and move to Illinois, is there anything special that I have to do? Do i have to file something or pay a tax to move out of state? I don't own a home yet but I am looking at places outside of Chicago.

You must coordinate "Nexus" Logistics:
Tax Domicile: File a "Declaration of Domicile" in your new state to stop being taxed by your old one.
The 30-Day Rule: Most states require a new Driver’s License and vehicle registration within 30 days of arrival.
Closer Coordination: Ensure your current title company and the one in your new state are communicating; a "simultaneous close" requires perfect timing to avoid carrying two mortgages or being homeless for a week.

No, you can just move - if you are moving for work, ask your future employer if they will reimburse some/any moving expenses. Keep in mind you are moving from FL which has no state income tax to IL which *does* have a state income tax. You must file a part-year resident tax return for Illinois for the year of the move, update your driver's license/registration within 30-90 days, and register to vote.
