Today we’re breaking down HJR 203, a proposal that could eliminate city and county property taxes for Florida homesteaded homeowners starting in 2027 — potentially cutting tax bills in half.

But there’s a catch.

State economists project a $14.8 billion annual gap in local budgets, which fund police, fire departments, roads, and public services. So the real question is: will homeowners see true relief, or will costs shift elsewhere?

I also share a potential solution — a structured visitor tax on the 143 million people who visit Florida each year — that could help offset the deficit while protecting residents.

This isn’t just about taxes. It’s about balance, growth, and protecting Florida’s future. That’s the common denominator.
