Florida Property Tax Issues on The Real Estate Sizzle Get Statewide Attention

I have been writing about the issues on Florida Property Taxes for months, and it is one of my most “googled” topics. I get much of my information about taxation and local economics from local officials “in the know”, have gathered information from the Hillsborough County Budget Office and attend conferences around the state. Most recently I attended a conference in Miami, where one of the featured speakers was an economist from the National Association of Realtors. I have researched Florida taxes as compared to other states, so my opinion is based on a combination of many factors. Let’s just say, I am “informed”.
My recent article on the Court decision to remove the proposed Property Tax amendment from the January ballot, and my decision to vote “against” the amendment, has caught the attention of Nancy Riley, President of the Florida Association of Realtors. My response to her is rather lengthy, so I have posted it on a separate page.

Comments are always welcome on The Real Estate Sizzle, but disrespect is not an option.

I believe you should always be an advocate for “doing the right thing” …whether it is property tax reform, or representing a client. If you are buying a home in Tampa, or selling your home in Tampa and want an advocate in YOUR next Real Estate transaction, contact me!

    She refused to let you in? That is ABSURD!!! You would figure they would be interested in opposing opinions with a voice to attend.

    The problem I find with the proposed tax reform is that they are not giving enough information. They know Floridians are so desperately looking for a change that they will vote yes to anything they propose.

    I would have let you in, and then tased you if you tried to speak. I am a Gator - that’s just the way we do things.

    Obviously they were one-sided and wanted no opposition and no one asking questions or disagreeing with them. While we are not Florida residents, we still pay a tremendous amount of property tax on undeveloped land and would appreciate any relief. However, we would like to see everyone share the burden. Love the Real Estate Sizzle and thank you for your efforts in keeping us informed. Keep up the great work.
