It depends on who's asking! Different branches of government, federal, state and local rules, and agency rules differ regarding the criteria they apply to determine if you're a legal "resident." In some cases it is a very simple test: "Do you live here?" In other cases, you have to obtain or claim some benefit or privilege from living there, such as a driver's license.
There is no general rule.
