American bought his home and the monthly mortgage payment has been $3,741.72
His property tax just got reassessed and has been sent his new monthly bill in the mail
His payment is now $4,536 per month because of the property tax increase
โThis is how people aren't able to stay in their houses forever and lose their houses. Crazyโ
This should be federally illegally. Property tax increases are such a scam and straight extortion
Abolish property taxes
๐จ A LEADER FOR THE PEOPLE: Gov. DeSantis tells it straight to his opposition: eliminating property tax is a move FOR THE PEOPLE.
How can ANYONE be against this? Well done, Gov. DeSantis.
I do not believe in property tax reform.
I do not believe in property tax relief.
I believe in one thing, and one thing only:
Complete and total property tax elimination.
@GregAbbott_TX I know you know that this is true. Why not take action and abolish property taxes for all Texans? No need to try to scare us into believing gov't needs this money. We know how much is stolen and wasted. Clean up that theft and you won't miss the property tax.
@GregAbbott_TX Iโm positive that an audit like this in Texas would produce similar results.
The government fear machine is coming to an end. You should do your job and help protect Texas homeowners from additional theft of their hard earned money. Abolish property taxes.
The property-tax fear machine has one job: convince homeowners that relief is dangerous while government waste is normal.
That's gonna be a no from me dawg.
If @GovGoneWild audits can find billions in wasteful property-tax spending, then the problem isn't that homeowners are undertaxed.
The problem is that government has gotten very comfortable spending other peopleโs mortgage money.
Drop a ๐ if you see this.
Share it if you can.
Or just scroll the timeline and "steal" the images and post them yourself.
As always the message matters more than my account.
The property-tax fight is now a voter-education fight, and if the grassroots and homeowners donโt define it, the fear machine will. Rally up!
@GregAbbott_TX Property tax is stealing from hard-working Texans. Abolish it now, Gov. Abbott. Show those who elected you that you care about doing what's right and what will help all Texan homeowners.
Property tax on a paid-off home is the government making you rent your own land. I'm with the Governor:
We must save Florida homeowners from out of control property taxes.
@GregAbbott_TX This is the way, sir. Make it happen for Texans. Do your job and make life better for Texans. Any excuses are no longer acceptable.
Texas should be leading the way, not following.
Hey, @GregAbbott_TX Florida is showing you the way. You should be showing them.
At least try to play catch up. Start relieving your constituents from the waste, fraud and abuse of our government. Itโs what we elected you to do. It can be done.
DeSantis is set to sign a budget that will decrease spending the fourth year in a row while increasing teacher pay, infrastructure and the biggest environmental restoration in U.S. history in the Florida Everglades!
โDonโt tell me this canโt be done!โ
๐จ BREAKING: FLORIDA LEGISLATURE FORMALLY APPROVES ABOLISHING PROPERTY TAXES for most primary homeowners statewide
Both chambers RESOUNDINGLY pass Gov. Ron DeSantisโ proposal, SENDING IT TO VOTERS for approval this November
LETโS GO!!! โ๏ธ๐๐ป
Needs 60% of voters this fall.
Florida is MAKING HISTORY!
The homestead exemption will surge up to $250K to start, and a schedule will set its elimination in the future
However, MOST homeowners will already get effective 0 taxes under the proposal.
DO IT NATIONWIDE!
๐จ JUST IN: The Florida Legislature has ADVANCED Gov. Ron DeSantis' Constitutional amendment abolishing property taxes for primary homeowners, with both Senate and House committees taking votes tonight
HISTORY IS BEING MADE!
Soon, it'll get a full floor vote, then head to the voters ๐ฅ
The proposal will go to a $150K, $250K homestead exemption โ which already gives a MAJORITY zero taxes
Then the schedule keeps going through abolishment
๐จ WOW! Gov. Ron DeSantis just MIC DROPPED the people opposing his plan to ABOLISH homeowner property taxes in Florida
"I don't like this idea, 'the GOVERNMENT losing revenue.' IT'S NOT THEIR MONEY! It's *YOUR* money."
"Government is just not TAKING as much. You're getting Constitutional protection for YOUR property โ that's a good thing, and we've got to see it through the lens of the taxpayer and the homeowner."
๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ
Abolishment coming on the ballot in November, LFG!!
๐จ NOW: Gov. Ron DeSantis reveals Florida has so much money they will ABOLISH property taxes for primary homeowners, then form a state-level grant fund for local governments who need it for police, fire, and more
BRILLIANT!
Every state should do this! ๐บ๐ธ
"Because we have surplus at the state level, we are creating a fund that will be able to issue grants to local governments. So if you really say, you know, you need help with a fire or a sheriff's department or education, we'll have grants that we're going to be able to do that for this period."
"But what's going to happen is this is going to increase the economic base of all these local areas, because people are going to have more money in their pocket."
"They're going to start getting more revenue from existing taxes without having to add new taxes, and they're going to end up in a very stable situation very shortly."
๐จ JUST IN: Gov. Ron DeSantis goes full PROPERTY TAX ELIMINATION MODE, saying Florida has MORE than enough money to cover essential local services without the waste, fraud and abuse
"For young people starting families, you can buy a house that's TAX RELIEVED from you! That's a HUGE boon."
"I want the American Dream available for people of all walks of life."
"People say, oh, you're not going to have any police schools all this other stuff. Well, when we had $32 billion coming in 2019, we had all that now there's $60 billion!"
"Because we have a surplus, we're going to create a state TRUST FUND, and we'll issue grants to local governments. If some police department needs help, we'll do it."
"We'll do school districts. I'm fine with doing that. We have the resources to do it."
"So at some point, we've got to stand for our local property owners vis-a-vis these property taxes, and I think it's going to be a home run. There's nothing more we can do in Florida government to put money in people's pockets other than this property tax initiative."
๐จ BREAKING: Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis just announced the effective ABOLISHMENT of most homeowner property taxes across the state, which will require a vote on the ballot this November
LET'S GO!! โ๏ธ
The amendment would also BLOCK local governments from wasting that portion of tax revenue, making sure it ONLY goes to services like police, fire, school, etc.
The plan PRIORITIZES young people and those with low-to-medium value homes, giving immediate zero taxes to 60% of Florida primary homeowners, later rising to 90% or more
DESANTIS CONVENING THE LEGISLATURE:
"Begin with an initial raising of the homestead limit to $250,000 for all Florida homesteaders."
$250K limit = the first $250,000 value of a home is $0 TAXED
Then the plan is to raise it to $500,000, which gives over 90% of Florida homeowners $0 IN TAXES ๐ฅ
"A $250,000 limit, that eliminates property tax for 60% of Florida homeowners. Once you put a schedule in, and this would be something that we'd work with the legislature on after the vote is taken in November, if it's successful, when you raise to $500,000 limit, that's 92% of all Florida residents would be tax-free."
"I'd rather focus on folks who are new homeowners, young people, seniors on fixed income, you know, are middle-class folks, and so this will be really significant."
