Florida Property Tax Cut, Miami Beach Real Estate


Cutting your Florida property tax by 25% a year? That's what Florida voters will decide in the fall. But adversaries of the plan say that in reality that’s just putting money in one of your pockets and taking it out of another.

Cutting property taxes by 25% would mean an 8 to 9 billion dollar savings for Florida property owners. The state would eliminate property taxes for schools, and make up that money by increasing the sales tax by 1 cent, raising an additional $3.4 billion.

The tax cut plan will require a 60% voter approval to pass.
