Volusia Tax Reform

The Wall Street Journal strikes again! Have you read the Wall Street Journal’s latest attack on Florida Real Estate woes? Also, the following is another article that appeared in the News Journal today, entitled, "City leaders say they limited the pain trimming budgets.”

For the sake of our businesses, clients and a healthy Florida economy, this negative image of Florida's real estate market has to change. We all need to do our part to change this image of Florida real estate. For those of you who have come from areas like NYC, Long Island, and the metropolitan areas of Boston and Connecticut or California  and other major metropolitan areas Florida is an affordable state.

Not everyone will be able to afford to buy a home in  Florida, but Daytona Beach still has some of the best values and most affordable real estate in the state of Florida with the taxes and insurance included.

Now, most of you may have been reading that the Florida Senate does not want to re-address the tax issue this special session, however, the House of Representatives does.  Again, Volusia Tax Reform would urge everyone to start email blasting the House and Senate to re-address the tax issue this special session which starts this Wednesday. We need tax relief reflecting in our November 2008 tax bills.  We all know and realize our economy cannot handle any more uncertainty... At the bottom of this email is again the email
addresses for all of our Senators and Representatives.
 
Our only  options now are:

  • Email Blast campaign to House and Senate to re-address the tax issue this special session which starts next week, October3
  • Pressure the Taxation and Budget Reform Commission
  • January 29, 2007 ballot amendment, if in deed we actually vote on it
  • Pressure our senators and representatives next spring at it's regular session
     

Volusia Tax Reform suggests we do all of the above!!!  Lets start our email blast campaign to our senators and representatives asking them to re-address the tax issue in the State of Florida as our economy is seriously faltering and we need leadership and assurances that our real estate taxes will be significantly reduced next year!! They can do better!! If the Supreme Court rules against the January 29th amendment, then our only option at that time will be to pressure Tallahassee next spring!!!

Good job!  Based on the title to your blog, I thought this was another blast to the media to go away or letters to the editor.  It's refreshing to see a call to action that may prove useful to your cause.  You ARE doing something productive for your community and market!  Hope it helps.

I am all for talking up the Florida market.  Afterall, what a beautiful state.  It can't be held down for long.  I've mentioned Florida in a few of my blogs about how some markets are showing positive signs and about Panama City's market has done quite well.  I guess it's up to us Realtors to start talking up our industry and we all need to ban together and keep it positive.  There's no better investment than real estate. Some people are going to be kicking themselves when all turns hot again!  Florida has way too much to offer to stay down.

I talk up the Florida market almost every single day!  I love Florida and who wouldn't?!  Look at the beautiful beaches and homes all through the state.  It's going to make a comeback and when it does, there will be some people hanging their head because they bought into the negativity!  Florida rules and it's Georgia neighbor rocks!
