Property taxes in Florida are skyrocketing.
- Duval county has seen a 57% increase in tax receipts since 2020.
- Orange county also saw a 57% increase in tax receipts since 2020.
- Hillsborough county’s budget has grown 70% since 2019.
- Gainesville property owners pay 85% more in property taxes than in 2020.
The population of the state of Florida has increased the most of any US state, but the increase in population was still only 8.2% since 2020. Where is all of the money going?
Taxpayers are being fleeced. Ripped off to pay for DEI, illegal immigrants, and for government employees to groom your children to turn them into twinks and trannies. Enough is enough.

I was in Kissimmee a week or so back and was thunderstruck hearing how there was this budget shortfall being reported and how the roads were going to suffer a bit. How on earth… with the amount of money POURING in to that area pursuant to tourism (resort fees, hotel taxe, etc.) could that even be possible?
Same thing in Lee County. How is that possible as well? Just the amount of fees collected pursuant to construction permits, etc. has to be astronomical.
Yeah, we need our own DOGE division right here FFS. Gotta wonder if they’re trying to ramp up a whine festival to push for a State Income Tax or some BS like that.

Of course, I don’t have the numbers to back this up but… the first thing I thought of was that article you wrote about the ‘Save Our Homes’ law that limits tax increases on existing homeowners in Florida. Also the fact it was transferable to any house you might buy as a new homestead. It seems to follow that these exorbitant tax increases would apply to transplants from other states (a good thing), but also to first time home buyers like our kids (a bad thing). Perhaps the SOH law can be modified to cover FL residents’ children? We need to discourage Florida’s population growth before we run out of everything essential for life, water being the most precious.

I don’t think that SOH is a fair system- nor are any tax carve outs. The same should apply to everyone. That doesn’t mean I won’t take advantage of what’s there, but I do think that our nation’s entire tax system is intentionally rigged in favor of all sorts of special interests.
