🚨 BREAKING: Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis just announced the effective ABOLISHMENT of most homeowner property taxes across the state, which will require a vote on the ballot this November
LET'S GO!! ☀️
The amendment would also BLOCK local governments from wasting that portion of tax revenue, making sure it ONLY goes to services like police, fire, school, etc.
The plan PRIORITIZES young people and those with low-to-medium value homes, giving immediate zero taxes to 60% of Florida primary homeowners, later rising to 90% or more
DESANTIS CONVENING THE LEGISLATURE:
"Begin with an initial raising of the homestead limit to $250,000 for all Florida homesteaders."
$250K limit = the first $250,000 value of a home is $0 TAXED
Then the plan is to raise it to $500,000, which gives over 90% of Florida homeowners $0 IN TAXES 🔥
"A $250,000 limit, that eliminates property tax for 60% of Florida homeowners. Once you put a schedule in, and this would be something that we'd work with the legislature on after the vote is taken in November, if it's successful, when you raise to $500,000 limit, that's 92% of all Florida residents would be tax-free."
"I'd rather focus on folks who are new homeowners, young people, seniors on fixed income, you know, are middle-class folks, and so this will be really significant."
