For many Florida residents, property taxes have become one of the most stressful parts of owning a home. Between rising insurance costs, higher interest rates, and increasing home values, the monthly cost of simply staying put has climbed fast. That’s why Governor Ron DeSantis’ proposal to eliminate property taxes on primary residences has struck such a strong chord across the state.
If approved by voters, this would be a major shift , and for homeowners, especially longtime residents, it could feel like real relief. Keeping thousands of dollars a year in your pocket could make the difference between feeling stretched and feeling secure, particularly for families and retirees on fixed incomes across Florida.
