I hope they aren't planning a VAT tax. That is a no go for me. I'd be interested to know where the revenue would be made up and how it gets back to the municipalities. With the amount of lottery sales in this state, that alone should do it.

Held for years that the one thing that ought to be sacred is one's home! To that end I'd even support an income tax...........think about it, you DO NOT really own your own property if it can be taken by default of a tax billing. Hell, yes I'll support it.............anything to diminish the overgrown and burdensome bureaucracy that has become "our" government..............................it was never intended to be this way!

NO income tax....trading one wrong for another is no deal. Careful what you wish for....the federal income tax rate started a 1% for everyone. Look how that turned out. |

Just throw an impact fee on all new houses, gas stations, and car washes and we wouldn't need any other taxes at the current growth rate and we might be able to slow it down.

Property tax should stay, but there should be caps on it. A family member has a house worth about 3 times
ours and their taxes are 6 times more than ours. We have = impact on schools, roads public services etc. Why should someone with a more expensive house pay more for the same impact on society as lessor valued property? |

I wonder if an attempt to shift from property tax to some kind of consumption tax has anything to do with the apparent explosion in really high density apartment buildings that seem to be going up everywhere around me. I'm guessing there's a breakover between trying to tax property owners to account for the number of tenants they have and just going right for the tenants' pockets instead.
Also huge land owners rejoice. I'd have to do some math but I suspect I'd be on the losing side of a change like this

IDK about all counties. In Lee, where I used to live, I paid impact fees when I built my house. 6 years later, I got hit with more impact fees when they forced water and sewer on us. Don't remember the first. That was incorporated in the house price. Second was $6500. |

One thing that would be bad is if the program was administered from Tallahassee. That would grow the state government and we don't need that either.

Rural sewer systems are vast and inefficient....so those on it get fuked. I'm about 8 miles, as the crow flies, from the nearest municipal pipe. I hope it's enough. |

At that point, I would move out of the State. One article I read had some "expert" and he did indeed say the FL sales tax would have to be something like 30%, so you are close. |

It worked great until cat 5 Ian hit us. We lost city water. Good thing I still had a well. Lift stations were all down. Sewage backing up out of manholes. Yea, at my final cost m of 32K. Had to put in with my taxes. I'm happy to be out of there. Right now, enjoying the quiet in Citrus County. |

The counties would probably add an increase of sales tax to make up the difference for money they would not get. They have done it here in Brevard. We have 1% added on to the State Sales tax (supposedly for lagoon cleanup and schools). Don't know about other counties but it might happen to them as in Brevard.

eliminate part of the revenue stream, and you can expect other things to be increased. Sales tax would go up, and you would see calls for a State Income Tax
