Governors Plan
 

Actually Sumter County has the 14 th highest Florida county tax rate. 53 counties tax less.

Florida could become the first state with no income tax and no property tax on primary residences if Governor Ron DeSantis gets his way. The proposal targets homestead properties - the homes where Floridians actually live - while leaving vacation homes, rental properties, and commercial real estate on the tax rolls.

These are all tax free

• Your primary residence (homesteaded)
• All property taxes: county, city, school, special districts
• No income or value limits
• Condominiums and townhomes (if homesteaded)

Losers

• Vacation and second homes
• Rental and investment properties
• Commercial real estate
• Vacant land and lots

About 20 billion would need to be made up through various taxes

Sounds like you need to move back...talk about apples and oranges!

I don't know if people are too lazy to read all the posts or if they're comprehension level is low. :sigh:

Both.

Gee, how do find buyers with taxes that high?

Then why are you here?

Nor is there a charge for the live music. Businesses on the squares pay for that. :clap2:

Public sector workers.

Illinois as a state is a grease fire. They're in serious debt overall. Public employee pensions are severely underfunded, taxes are high, crime in Chicago is out of control, and at one point they had three ex governors in prison for corruption at the same time.

The capitol is in Springfield but all the political power is in Cook County/Chicago. It's been like that as far back as I can remember.
Thankfully we moved to southern Indiana many years ago and never looked back.

Once you get away from the northeast corner of Illinois it's a beautiful state, with lots of great people. Sadly they have no voice in the way the state is run.

You might have a point there. It is levied by district government, pays for government owened and operated facilities. It walks like a tax, and quacks like a tax, but in low tax Florida it is a fee?

Quit disrespecting Chicago. I just spent a week there and the onlly crime I experienced was the price of a burger at the Hilton, and the four levels of sales tax levied on food purchased at a restaurant.

Some people like pain, and will even pay $$$ for it.
