Gov. Ron DeSantis is pushing to repeal property taxes in the State of Florida
❌ — yes, you heard that right. No more annual property tax bills for homeowners. Sounds amazing, right? But let’s dig into what that really means for homeowners, renters, and our communities.
What would no property taxes mean? Let’s start with the basics. Property taxes fund your county schools , fire departments , police ♂️, road maintenance ️, and libraries . If those taxes disappear, that money has to come from somewhere else.
$$$ LOST REVENUE Florida counties could lose billions of dollars in revenue. So, how would local governments pay for essential services? One word: more taxes ⚠️. Sales tax ↑, local taxes ↑ Expect a higher state sales tax ️, maybe even local tax increases . That’s a shift from a property-based tax system to a consumption-based one. And here’s where it gets complicated… Homeowners smiling Sure, homeowners might celebrate at first — no property taxes means more money in your pocket . But if sales taxes spike, the cost of living could rise , and home values might drop due to cuts in public services.
Apartment building What about renters and low-income households? They don’t pay property taxes directly, but landlords do — and those costs usually get passed down through rent . Without property taxes, landlords save… but higher sales taxes mean renters now pay more on everything . School, fire truck, road with potholes And if counties can’t fill the gap? Services could be cut . That means underfunded schools, fewer emergency crews, and crumbling infrastructure .
Broker Alice Lonnqvist of Home Max Realty International, who’s been helping South Florida buyers and sellers for over 30 years ️, says this could totally reshape the real estate market. ❓ So, what do you think? Should Florida eliminate property taxes? ♂️ Is it worth the risk of higher sales taxes and service cuts? Drop your thoughts in the comments — we’d love to hear from you!
