More On Tax Reform For Real Estate Agents

Tax Reforms Update for Florida Special Session:

“While I am disappointed the Legislature didn’t finalize the property tax reform during the regular session, the 30 days they will be home before the June Special Session allows us even more time to make our voices heard,” says Florida Association of Realtors® President Nancy Riley. “ It is my hope that a special legislative session devoted entirely to this issue will be able to deliver even more comprehensive tax reform than what could be negotiated in the waning hours of the regular session. The legislature will be able to roll back rates immediately and, if we remain strong, we will get our special election this year for portability and other constitutional issues that must be ratified by the voters.”

This is great advice to get out there and get your voices heard on tax reform. Please email and call your Senators and Congressmen and women and your House Representatives during this next 30 days. Please do not put this off. Write it in your calendar.

The voice of the people must be made known and the only way they will hear us is if we write and call them! It only takes a few minutes. So put it as an appointment in your daily planner to remember to do this straight away.

I think the best reform is to get rid of the property taxes altogether and raise the sales tax by 1%. I think the government should learn to spend money wisely and be accountable to the people for their expenditures. This would save a lot of homeowners from foreclosure and also help new home buyers to be able to afford homes in Florida.

Tell me what you think about this issue. But no matter what you think, make sure your voice is heard.
