taxes: Florida Real Estate Taxes or Insurance? Which is the bigger issue?
- 10/05/07 06:27 AM
I was just reading a comment on one of my recent posts about Florida's huge property tax problem. The comment was from Katrina Madewell regarding our property insurance issue. Katrina mentioned that the focus had shifted from insurance, to the taxes. I personally believe that whether real estate taxes or real estate insurance is the bigger issue, is determined by what area of the state you live in. Katrina is a REALTOR® on the west coast of Florida, while I'm a REALTOR® on the east coast. In the Daytona Beach area, most REALTORS® and buyers will tell you it's the property … (6 comments)

And don't forget to … (6 comments)

taxes: SAVE OUR HOMES
- 06/12/07 03:11 PM
Florida home buyers need relief from high property taxes! This is a statement we've heard far too often in recent years. In 1992, the state of Florida enacted the Save Our Homes act, for home owners who call Florida their primary residence. Under this act, home owners are able to claim the Homestead Exemption on their property taxes. With this exemption, $25,000 is deducted from the assessed value of a home, before taxes are calculated. And for the entire length of time that a home owner calls a particular home in Florida their primary residence, the taxes on that home cannot be raised … (5 comments)
