Finally common sense coming to Florida. The voters got to vote for minimum wage hikes, now voters get to vote to eliminate property taxes.

Florida lawmakers approved a measure for the November ballot that would dramatically overhaul the state’s property-tax system, significantly reducing the tax bill for many homeowners and creating potential funding woes for local governments.
In a special legislative session that concluded Tuesday, the Republican-led House and Senate backed a constitutional amendment proposed by Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis, after revising it to protect funding for schools. It is now up to Florida voters to decide the fate of the measure, which requires 60% support to pass.
Property-tax revolts have erupted around the country in recent years as homeowners’ tax bills have climbed along with home values. In Florida, the issue has intensified amid an influx of wealthy people who have pushed up home prices. Escalating property-insurance premiums and other living costs are contributing to affordability problems for many state residents.

I think this is a no brainer, the politicians and unions will be out howling that it will make schools less effective and police and fire, will have to cut costs, but more people will not be taxed out of the homes.

$15 per hour
ORLANDO, Fla. — Florida’s minimum wage is set to increase to $15 per hour in 2026, as a result of Amendment 2 passed by voters in 2020. The amendment initiated a series of scheduled minimum wage hikes, starting at $11 in 2022 and increasing to $14 by Sept. 30, 2025.

Wow, that is a huge deal, legitimately a game changer. How will municipalities pay for most of their services?

Yeah, no shit.

Based on early 2026 data, Florida’s effective property tax rate averages ~0.9%, with typical homeowners paying around $3,494 annually. Property taxes vary by county, calculated using local millage rates (1 mill = $1 per $1,000 of taxable value).

They already have the deal of the day.

That said taxation is theft.
