Florida homeowner tax bill

But, for how long? To me, that would argue in favor of something like a tax rebate over making a change to the state’s constitution to prohibit one particular form of taxation.

I think they did not go the rebate route because Florida has no income tax and therefore no easy way to collect the info needed for stuff like means tests. But I agree, that would be much better.

How do I expect the gap to be closed? Thankfully, I'm not in politics, so I have no idea. But as far as I know, no bills to increase non-homestead apprasial value ratios have been introduced.

Even if they did increase non-homestead property taxes, I can see how timeshare owners and second-home owners would be upset (and I am a DVC owner), but I don't necessarily think it would be unfair. Hawaii is not shy about charging multiple taxes to tourists that residents don't pay, so why not Florida?

Montana levied a big tax on non-resident properties.
