It depends. A person is a resident of Livingston County if he/she occupies a dwelling within the County with the present intent to remain in the County for a period of time that is not temporary or of brief duration. Typically residency will be evidenced by things such as: (1) property ownership or long-term lease, (2) voter registration in the jurisdiction, (3) driver’s license showing County residency, etc. Typically if a student is occupying temporary housing and does not intend to remain in the County outside the school year the student is not a County resident.
