. The owner of any motor vehicle subject to the registration
provisions of this chapter, or exempted therefrom, may file with the
department, at the time he registers or renews the registration of
such motor vehicle, a signed statement that he resides in more than
one county for a period of more than 30 days, or uses such vehicle in
a county other than the county of his legal residence for business
purposes. Such statement shall specify the address at which the owner
resides in any county for more than 30 days, if any, or the length

accordance with the statements filed with the department, to
determine the total number of vehicles registered or exempted from
registration in any particular county.
