Florida Lawmakers Have Until Midnight to Solve Property Tax Problem

I received this email message from the Florida Association of Realtors moments ago.

"At mid-afternoon, the Florida House was still deliberating over a leaner property tax reform package passed out today by the Senate. The proposal would increase the homestead exemption for properties worth at least $75,000 – except for school taxes; would provide a 10 percent cap for non-homestead properties, except for school taxes; and includes a ''portability'' provision allowing homesteaders to take at least part of the benefits they get from the existing Save Our Homes assessment cap with them they move. Lawmakers have until 11:59 p.m. to pass some sort of property tax relief measure if it’s to go before voters on the Jan. 29 ballot."

It is getting ridiculous to watch our Florida legislators bicker about providing tax relief to Florida homeowners. People are mad as H _ _ _ and a tax revolt is eminent.
