Property Tax Restructure
Property taxes fund essential services while keeping the burden fair for residents and businesses.
Protecting Fair Funding for Strong Communities
Property Taxes The Florida League of Cities SUPPORTS the levy of property taxes by municipalities to provide critical services such as infrastructure, police, fire and emergency services. Further changes or exemptions to the property tax system and tangible personal property taxes would create inequities and unfairly shift the tax burden onto families, homeowners, renters, businesses and our most vulnerable population.
