Another Push for More Tax Reform in Florida…Tampa Real Estate Market News

THE LATEST NEWS ON THE TAMPA REAL ESTATE MARKET, BUYING A HOME IN TAMPA, AND REAL ESTATE ISSUES AROUND THE WORLD, EVERY DAY, ON THE REAL ESTATE SIZZLE…. 

Marco Rubio, Florida’s Speaker of the House, is back on the scene this week, pushing for a sharper property tax cut.  Just two months before the vote on the current proposal, which would save the average Florida homeowner a mere $240.00 per year in property taxes, Rubio is back on the tax-cut bandwagon.

The plan calls for a flat 1.35 percent cap on all property taxes.  Easy to understand…a home assessed at $100,000 would pay $1350 per year in taxes.  The 3% per year, Save Our Homes, cap, would remain and the existing $25,000 homestead exemption would be preserved.  Property owners would see an average 26% drop in their tax bill.  This is similar to California’s Proposition 13.

Rubio is lending support to the group, “Cut Property Taxes Now”, a coalition formed to get the tax-cut initiative on the ballot.  You can read more, and download the petition here.

I commend Marco Rubio for continuing to persevere for the property owners in Florida, despite opposition from the Governor, the unions, special interest groups and many lobbyists in the State.   We need more politicians in Florida who are focused on Florida, and not focused on getting to the White House. 

I can help with your move to any Tampa neighborhood, including: South Tampa, Davis Islands, Beach Park, Sunset Park, Hyde Park, Culbreath Isles, Palma Ceia, Westchase, Waterchase, Odessa, Cheval, Avila, Brandon, Riverview, FishHawk, New Tampa, Tampa Palms, Hunter’s Green, Arbor Greene, Apollo Beach, South Shore, MiraBay, Golf Communities, Waterfront Homes, Luxury Homes in Tampa, Condos in Tampa and International Real Estate…contact me!

    Great information Jackie. Thank you for the update. Rubio is to be commended. I like the sound of his plans. Unfortunately in Northwest Florida, we have a congressman who is a Bush puppet. I don’t believe he can actually think for himself, other than to smooze those higher up than he. Hopefully in Tampa you have some better representation. Thanks for taking the stand on the Florida tax issue. Your Tampa real estate clients should really appreciate having you on their side. Thanks – Karl
