Florida Property Tax Update: Getting Closer but still underwhelmed

By
Real Estate Agent with THE PODGURSKY GROUP @ Re/Max Direct

So Florida Lawmakers took a moment to announce they've come closer to finalizing the Property Tax Reforms that have been the subject of special legislative sessions that seem positively never-ending to residents in the state.

The local media has been buzzing with anticipation of the final announcement of where the taxes will roll back - but based on the latest numbers, I am personally quite underwhelmed.

There were issues that went untouched entirely and property owner classes who really are only getting token reductions while the "target property owner class" really didn't get that big a boost by the numbers.

Great way to stay on top of the taxs.   One day it will settle and I don't think anyone will be happy..

David, I have read at least one other Post on this and I don't think I still understand what this tax reform is all about, so I think I will take a look at your link and maybe it will clear this up for me.

David,

I am glad you are blogging on this topic.  I may throw one out about this later this week, but I haven't bothered since you are doing such a good job.

I did want to point out that the Miami Herald did highlight how many of the local cities' managers are getting paid big bucks.  Top of the list, of course is Pembroke Pines at $224,000.  At least on the list I saw.
