Florida TaxWatch: “Help Businesses”

October 17th, 2007 by flanews

As lawmakers wrestle with getting a property tax cut package passed during this special session, taxpayer watchdog group Florida TaxWatch is weighing in with its own suggestions.� The organization�s president, Dominic Calabro, says the burden of high property taxes is not just falling on owners of homestead properties.

�It�s fallen on second homeowners.� It�s fallen on snowbirds.� It�s fallen on our visitors.� It�s fallen on our renters,” Calabro said.� “Most notably, it�s fallen on businesses, businesses which are the economic engine of Florida.� This is beginning to put Florida at a competitive disadvantage with our other states and communities.�

Lawmakers have until the end of the month to get a property tax amendment placed on the ballot January.����
