Citizens of Florence could claim membership in a gonfalone other than where they lived for purposes of taxation and political sortition, usually that of their father or other ancestor and related to where the family traditionally held its highest-value properties. The 1427 catasto contains numerous examples of a declared residence (casa per abitazione) in a parish not physically located in the gonfalone from which the tax declaration was made. Residence is "surmised" when extrapolated from political service or tax records that do not indicate the parish of residence and "documented" when the physical location of a house is known.

[a] A Nicolaus Tancredis del Rossellino Ferraius was elected from Santa Croce Ruote on August 28th, 1448.
[b] The 1439 sepoltuario indicates that Niccolò del Rosselino had taken possession of the tomb of Tegna di Jacopo, but it is not clear what, if any, decoration he added to the grave .
[c] Niccolò del Rossellino was elected to the priorate from this district and declared his taxes from it, but in 1427 he was living in the parish of Sant'Ambrogio in a house he owned in via Ghibellina.
[d] Though he filed his tax declaration with officials in the Ruote district, Niccolò's house was in the parish of Sant'Ambrogio in via Ghibellina next to Francesco di Dino borsaio.
