Speaker 1 (00:03):
Welcome to the Brian Mudshow. It's the info you need
to start your day in the Bomb Beaches and the
Treasure Coast as we take a look at Florida's property
tax relief proposals in the House now. Last week, House
Speaker Daniel Perez produced eight different proposals that the state
legislature intends to take up in January. There's one big
(00:27):
thing about those eight proposals, though not one of them
included what Governor De Santis has called for, which is
an elimination of homestead of property taxes altogether. Instead, what's
in the eight different proposals for the first one would
(00:47):
eliminate all non school property taxes for homestead of properties
starting January first of twenty twenty seven. The next one
would phase out school homestead property taxes over ten years
by adding a one hundred thousand dollars exemption annually until
(01:07):
fully eliminated. The next would exempt Florida residents aged sixty
five and older from non school property taxes on homestead
of properties. The next one would create a new homestead
exemption equal to twenty five percent of the assessed value
for nonschool property taxes, benefiting current and first time homeowners.
(01:36):
The next proposal would provide an additional one hundred thousand
dollars exemption on nonschool taxes for homestead of properties covered
by comprehensive property insurance. The next one wit to remove
the five hundred thousand dollars cap on portability, allowing for
full transfer of accumulated Save our Homes benefits to a
(01:58):
new home, regardless of value. The next one would limit
assess value growth to three percent over three years for
homestead of properties, as opposed to the three percent limit
annually right now and fifteen percent over three years for
non homesteaded properties versus the ten percent annual cap now.
(02:22):
And the last one would require a two thirds vote
for local governments to increase military rates. Allows newly married
couples to combine Save our Homes benefits up to five
hundred thousand dollars in total, so you kind of see
the evolution here. The closest thing to an elimination of
homestead of property taxes is the first one, where to
(02:45):
eliminate all non school property taxes. But again to the
premise of this, which is, do you ever own your
home if you have to pay taxes to retain it,
but none of them meet that particular objective. So it's
quite clear what Daniel Perez's priorities are. They're run countered
to the governors. Definitely going to be interesting to see
(03:05):
what's going to happen here. You know, the governor had
already said that he would potentially call a special session
close to the primaries next year to put pressure on
the legislature if they didn't propose and didn't pass what
he had called for. All right, one note in Florida
News it's been discovered the hunting stand found in some
(03:28):
trees near Pbia is on County own land managed by
county government. FBI continues to investigate this stand
