PROPERTY TAX REFORM


A MESSAGE FROM PROPERTY TAX REFORM

We’re mad as h_ _ _ and we’re not going to take it any more!

Floridians are tired of politicians making a mockery of voters with their false promises. Too many elected officials talk the talk, but fail to walk the walk.

Lawmakers do not appear genuinely interested in providing swift and meaningful property tax relief for the residents of the State of Florida. Instead, they seem to be simply going through the motions while we, their constituents, are burdened with unreasonable tax bills we can no longer afford.

Given the disparity between the House and Senate proposals and the level of rhetoric between the parties, we sense that the special legislative session scheduled for June 12th through June 22nd will again fall short of delivering sweeping property tax relief for Floridians. However, this time around we will not sit and wait for state lawmakers to fail us again. We are prepared to take this issue directly to the voters.

“This is too critical an issue for us to sit back and watch it get diluted through Tallahassee’s ‘sausage-making’ legislative process, where what comes out at the end is unrecognizable from what went in at the beginning. We have come together as private citizens and are prepared to rally our fellow Floridians to place meaningful, comprehensive property tax reform on the ballot as a constitutional amendment,” said Bernie Navarro, Chairman of Citizens for Property Tax Reform.

Citizens for Property Tax Reform was established to strive towards a single goal: Placing the final decision concerning property tax reform in Florida solely in the voters’ hands.

We respectfully invite you to review and support our 30-40-50 Plan through which:

• Seniors would pay 30% of their property tax portion of the bill, or a 70% savings.

• Homesteaded properties would pay 40% of their property tax portion of the tax bill, or a 60% savings.

• Second homes, investment homes, and commercial properties would pay 50% of their property tax portion of the tax bill, or a 50% savings.

Join us in this historic and heroic effort to regain our property rights and hold the overblown government bureaucracies accountable every penny of the citizens’ tax money!
