Florida's property tax debate isn't about taxes. It's about power.
When local governments can't fund themselves, they can't govern themselves. Cities that depend on Tallahassee for police and fire services don't make their own decisions — Tallahassee does.
Your local officials don't disappear. They just stop mattering.
Blow an $18.3 billion hole in local budgets and the power shifts — permanently. Unlike a tax bill, that's nearly impossible to reverse.
This isn't a tax cut. It's a transfer of power away from your community.

Florida — before you vote YES on the property tax amendment, read this. 🚨
Sure, your tax bill might go down. But here's what disappears with it:
🚫 Libraries
🚫 Parks & rec centers
🚫 Senior services
🚫 Garbage collection
🚫 Children's services
Local governments lose $8.4 BILLION a year. And the state removed its promise to help cover the losses.
They'll make up the difference by raising fees on fire protection, stormwater, and more — so you may not even save money in the end.
Smaller counties could go bankrupt. Renters get zero protections.
This isn't a tax cut. It's a shell game. Don't let your community pay the price.

Mayor Demings has dedicated his life to public service, fighting with passion, mettle, and faith. I know he’ll bring that same spirit to this new chapter. Laura and I wish him a full recovery as we personally pray for Jerry and his family.

Mike Johnson bragged about “notebooks full of ideas” to improve healthcare. Axios revealed what was in them: strip millions of Americans of coverage to fund a war with Iran. Today the House votes on war powers.

Now you know exactly what that vote means.
