Clearwater real estate and Florida real estate tax reform is coming up in January. Here is a reprint of a letter from our
governor on the subject or real estate...
Please join me today in supporting Yes on 1. This historic property tax amendment doubles your homestead exemption and allows you to take your Save Our Homes tax savings with you when you purchase a new home. On January 29th, you will have the power to cut your taxes and boost the state's economy by voting 'yes' on Amendment 1.
This issue continues to be in the forefront of people's minds and the time for property tax relief is now. Property taxes in Florida have more than doubled in the last nine years and local government budgets are growing faster than our residents' ability to pay for them.
Recently you may have read that fewer people are expected to move to our state as Florida's housing market grinds to a halt under the crush of higher taxes. As a result, state economists lowered the estimate of overall tax savings provided under Amendment 1.
However, the numbers remain significant as more than $9 billion in tax relief savings would be provided to struggling homeowners. This tax cut is in addition to the $15-billion property-tax cut created during a June special legislative session that rolled back property taxes to 2006 levels.
It is unacceptable that seniors can't afford the homes they live in, young potential homeowners can't afford to buy, and our families can't afford to sell. Floridians, our fate is in our own hands. By passing Amendment 1, $9.2 billion will be placed back into the pockets of Florida's homeowners and the state economy.
Amendment 1 is an opportunity Florida homeowners cannot afford to oppose. Please visit www.Yeson1Florida.com to learn more about this tax cutting amendment. Again, I urge you to vote 'yes' on Amendment 1 on January 29.
Sincerely,
Charlie Crist
