Property tax should not even exist in the first place, and before anyone says those taxes are needed to pay for things we all use...FALSE. Look at your property tax bill. The majority of the bill goes to fund public schools. If you feel citizens must pay for the education for their neighbors kids then get the money another way! Tax something else, but not homes! How is that even ethical that people are forever renters? The Government has a continuous lien on homes and that isn't even right. No tax on food, water or medicine because they are deemed "necessity" so you don't think shelter is a necessity??? What would happen if everyone in the world just refused to pay property tax all at the same time?

Very few toll roads do not have a free alternative, you just get to enjoy traffic lights and a lot more time in your vehicle and fuel burn. Going to the Keys and dont like the tolls on the Reagan Tollway, you can go west out of Ft. Lauderdale and take the Alligator Highway through Homestead for free. A lot of toll roads are NOT DIRECTLY government funded, but they do get to do the Eminent Domain to get (CONFISCATE) the land so I agree should never have tolls. If it takes from the public IN ANY WAY, the public should own it and control it.

It’s likely because his house was purchased before yours when prices were cheaper. Florida’s homestead rule caps how much the state can raise taxes on you each year, and where it starts is based on purchase price. So if they bought in the 90s, taxes will be very affordable for them compared to anyone buying in the 2000s (and god help anyone buying now). The idea was to reward people who bought when it was cheap so they could stay there, and then tax the wealthy northerners who come flocking down in droves and buy the houses after everything is developed and home prices have gone up

@@malachi- We’ve always had hurricanes 🌀 in the history of Florida. Literally nothing has changed there’s no reason for these hikes.

[@malachi-]

@@fbanda20 Yes, it was more sarcastic, as if they had a justification to raise prices, in the first place, some more.

[@dagramirez]

How about help with car insurance too

[@drviagrin3798]

If you want help with car insurance rates, speak to the general public about their driving habits. That is what issuance rates are based on.

[@viola-suzieq]

DeSantis, when are you going to remove school tax for seniors. Our property tax is outrageous. Start thinking about a tax relief for seniors as we never get a tax break.

[@JimMooney-yg6cd]

Not compared to California and NY

[@rickybobby7276]

When your social security benefits end. Social security the original Ponzi scheme where the first people receiving benefits never paid into the system and everyone forever is screwed over because of it.

[@KingFergus]

Why should you get a break just because you're old? I don't have children so why should I pay?

[@viola-suzieq]

@@KingFergus so, why should you?

[@JimMooney-yg6cd]

Viola- you actually got a break years ago when you got a second homestead exemption. Prices in florida are going up because people are leaving blue states ( California, NY, illinois-etc) because of horrible Biden n Democratic policies. That and companies like Blackrock, vanguard, state street all out bidding people and thatis what is driving the house prices up. It’s not DeSantis fault.

[@misssands3764]

Meanwhile, in California....

[@deborahoftheholyspirit2285]

Thank you Governor. You are the best.

[@tomdurham1699]

You have so many out side people why is your school tax not in your sales taxes.

[@lrs7777]

More tax cuts for billionaires

[@legaleeblonde4310]

Educate yourself. Lol. You obviously don't know how money works. 😂

[@legaleeblonde4310]

When Trump was prez, the middle class was wealthier. Hello. We're about to have a ton more fed taxes bc Trump's tax cuts are going to expire, and JB isn't renewing them.

[@iamat33]

House insurance and uninsured car drivers need attention. The insurance rates are my only gripe here ….

[@RuaWaterwalker]

Thank you Governor! We in Florida have the BEST GOVERNOR! And he said there would be more to come! Thank you

[@DRventura333]

Thank you for the tax package cut for your tax paying citizens of Florida. In reading many concerns, they need the Real Estate Property taxes permanently removed for those over 60 who only have one primary residence and on fixed social security/pension as only income. Also, for those 59 and below, reduce the assessments so people don't lose their homes as they cannot pay the ridiculous property tax hikes.

[@B.L.Creations]

Help the Seniors !! We own a mobile home and can’t even afford the insurance .

[@progressivenetwork3584]

Voodoo Economics

[@Republican-00769]

Exactly. Right wing libertarians are just as bad as Left wing anarchists! Meanwhile, crime is at an all time high here in Florida and the police are way under-staffed and under-paid.

[@pattygooge6034]

Your people can barely afford food, property taxes are up. Hm owners insurance just skyrocketed

[@pch5938]

More people going to move here. Better to fix the overcrowded roads first

[@katskills5560]

❤DeSantis thank you, now can you do something about insurance rates?

[@joylamarca6515]

All great things. I applaud you. However if you don't help us get affordable homeowners insurance, we must leave the state. Sell our homes that we love. Can't afford to keep our homes. My home owners insurance jumped to $12000 per yr. Last June. UP 250% from prior yr. Now citizens notified me they will no longer renew us in fl. Checked with another co. They want $18000 to renew me in June 2024. Ridiculous. I'm 75 yr old. Only get social security security. I don't even make that amount. We need help Now!

[@JonNova]

Who is in charge of Audio/Visual over there at these press conferences? There is NO stereo in this video!

[@cmoore8278]

Stop the yearly car extension fees

[@dferrantiJfr]

VOLUSIA COUNTY turned me down for that roof grant for 65,k.. . No other grants were available they said.. That was 2 weeks ago.. Not in this County..

[@imjustalilbit]

Homeowners insurance and property taxes should not be mandatory. We live in a free country and should have the freedom to choose these services and not be forced!

[@dennisstgermain442]

Looks like we won't pay the SALES TAX on home insurance. 1.75% , Big deal.

[@Hotshot24-7]

We shouldn’t have term limits on governors but we should for the senate and Congressmen

[@whiteorchid60]

Another accomplishment

[@jaymorgan8017]

We have the homestead act to keep property taxes down.
