.........And while we are talking taxes......I hope people know that a flat tax is the most regressive tax. Because rich people already probably inherited a home and other reasons. Florida has a flat sales tax because they HOPE that international visitors and northern visitors pay for most of the state expenses. But, you and I are still stuck with a flat tax which hurts middle and lower classes the MOST. .......People bitch about California, yet they have one of the BEST tax systems in the US because they have a PROGRESSIVE tax system which means the more money that rich people make, the more income tax they pay. In California the lower classes get the tax breaks, which is the RIGHT way to do it because it encourages EACH generation to HAVE to work hard and become successful. ..........Florida encourages people to succeed by BEING BORN rich! ..........Property tax and income tax laws are made law by the upper class in states like Florida. |

Bit that alone would result in you paying more than a fulltime resident. Then, the Save Our Homes limit on taxable value increases would make the difference even greater over time.

As I understand it, the “save our homes portability” when you buy another home in Florida works like this. The difference between the market value and the assessed value of the home you are selling will be subtracted from the market value of the new home to establish the assessed value of the new home. This only applies if you are homesteaded.

On day 1, a new resident and a new snowbird will pay the same. By year 2 the full time resident should be paying less.

Something is not right here. Sumter is cheaper than Marion, but the amounts you show are ridiculous. I'm in Marion county, my home is larger AND I have a pool, and I pay no where near $6700. Much closer to the $2700.

Marion County’s mileage rate is 51.6% higher than Sumter’s, unless you are within the City of Wildwood, in which case Marion’s rate is 17.6% higher. However, the bond expense in Marion is much lower, and for most homes the bond has been paid off. Last edited by nn0wheremann; 03-18-2024 at 10:00 AM. Reason: Add in Wildwood |

Of course it was. That’s why I was agreeing with you.

What does "regressive/progressive" have to do with paying taxes? The government doesn't owe you extra votes just because you're poor -- so why should a poor man pay less to fund the government than a rich guy? And what business is it of yours, where he got his wealth? The purpose of our government isn't to force everybody to be equally poor. You're confusing us with North Korea. Our government is supposed to guarantee our liberty, not our wealth. There's an interesting document you can read to help you figure out where you live. It's called "The Constitution of the United States. Even though it is the supreme law of the land, it is written in language any educated person can easily understand. You might notice that doesn't say anything about giving breaks to poor people. In fact, it never mentions wealth other than our God-given right to pursue it. And, although it was amended about 100 years ago to create an income tax, it doesn't say one word about making it "progressive". If it bothers you to you live in a state that attempts to follow America's supreme law of the land instead of North Korea's, why are you here? Wouldn't you be happier handing your wealth over to California, so they can redistribute it in the "progressive" manner you prefer? Full Text of the U.S. Constitution | Constitution Center. |

Look for even higher taxes as we speak. Commissioner Wiley just said he backs a 22 million dollar increase in spending for fire.
