  1. Everyone pays for public schools, everywhere, if they own (or rent, for that matter.)

  2. It's been like that forever.

  3. Michael, from your lack of understanding of the property tax bill, I'm assuming it's the first FL notice of proposed property tax assessment you've ever received. Understandable. First off, as a new homeowner, your property is reassessed at fair market value in Jan. of 2023, assuming you bought in 2022. That can be big, because the previous owner might have had many deductions which you may not be eligible for, and he may have had them for many years! But that reassessment only happens once in your ownership of that property. As for your griping about having to pay school taxes, city taxes, etc. I can sympathize (my kids are long grown!) but everyone, everywhere, who owns property has to pay them. One particularly wasteful and expensive one is the Marxist phonybaloney Children's Services Council, which pays to line the pockets of the mayor's wife in my city, who was chosen to head it up! But otherwise, if your property is homesteaded, FL Statutes mandates that property taxes can only go up a maximum of 3% yearly, with Save Our Homes giving many long-term owners an additional break. Look them up . My homesteaded FL property notice this year went from 4,061 last year to 3,976.92 this year if no budget change is made to 4,340 if proposed budget change is made. I'm in North FL.

  4. Nope, FL Statutes limit homesteaded property to yearly increases of a maximum 3%. I'm in FL, and my proposed property taxes might actually go down, if proposed budget change isn't adopted.

  5. Great idea! But City Commissioners, most of who are Democrats, are the ones responsible for deciding city budgets in Miami (and my FL city, too, unfortunately.)

  6. Someone else on here commented that he has no homestead exemption on his property! If true, that explains everything, lol.

  7. True. DeSantis 2024, if the US wants balanced budget.

  8.  @ScrollTD I can assure you, Miami is mostly run by Democrats.

  9. Michael, flip over your FL Proposed Property Tax Notice, and the answers to most of your questions about property taxes and assessments will be on there. Especially, see "I purchased my house last year, why are my property taxes so much higher this year"?

  10. You are correct. I have a homesteaded and a non-homesteaded property; in fact, my house sits on two lots, and I'm only allowed one lot homesteaded. So my property taxes actually DO go up a bit higher each year than most, but my rental investment house goes up every year to the max. 10%!😟

  11. Because NC is a WEF controlled blue state.

  12. It is. I've had my notice for weeks now, but when you get it depends on when your taxing authorities (county) decide to send it out.
