Florida tried this experiment with college costs in the 2000s, costs still increased and families ended up paying more for college.

Tuition Differential Fee (s. 1009.24, F.S.)

Changing names doesn’t change what it costs to provide services.

The debate isn’t whether local governments will need revenue.

The debate is whether your 2030 tax bill looks like:

Property Tax: $4,000

or

Fire Rescue Assessment: $385
Solid Waste Assessment: $425
Stormwater Assessment: $210
Public Safety Assessment: $575
Transportation Assessment: $290
Street Lighting Assessment: $95
Parks Assessment: $120

Total Due: $2,100

Plus whatever ad valorem taxes still apply to property that isn’t exempt.

Non-ad valorem assessments already exist throughout Florida. If local governments lose a significant share of their homestead tax base, don’t be surprised if you see more of them.

Government still needs revenue. The real question is whether we’re cutting taxes, shifting taxes, or simply changing the labels on the bill.

The City of Tallahassee will review its policies that could conflict with a new anti-DEI legislation. The law limits local governments from funding or promoting any policies related to diversity, equity, and inclusion. ABC 27’s Maya Sargent reports. #wtxl #abc27

41 today. Last year on my 40th I stood at a housing action and couldn't get my words out — thinking about 10,000 Leon County families who can't afford a home.

And my own family's foreclosure.

That's why I do this. Q1 deadline is midnight.
