You will see this terminology throughout the Recreation Division's publications and website.  The determination of residential status will, in most cases, determine when you register and how much you will pay for activities.

Incorporated Jupiter residents will have first chance at registering for programs/activities and will pay less than a non-resident.  The reason for this is the incorporated Town of Jupiter resident pays taxes to the Town of Jupiter.  A non-resident does not pay taxes to the Town of Jupiter.  Having children in a Jupiter school or a mailing address that says Jupiter, FL does not qualify you as an incorporated Jupiter resident.  It has no bearing on where you live but whether you pay taxes to the Town of Jupiter.  For example, Jonathan's Landing, which is located in the middle of Jupiter is considered an unincorporated community because they do not pay taxes to the Town of Jupiter.  Other areas that are often confused as incorporated Jupiter residents are Jupiter Farms and Tequesta.  Bottom line, what determines your residential status is if you pay taxes to the Town of Jupiter.

Another indicator if you pay taxes to the Town of Jupiter is if you have Jupiter Police or PBCSO patrol your neighborhood.  PBCSO would be an indication that you are located in an unincorporated area of Jupiter/Palm Beach County. 

Unincorporated communities will be assessed a user fee of approximately 25% more than incorporated Jupiter residents.  In addition, incorporated residents will have first priority to register for most programs and classes.
