Bill Would Change How Floridians Pay Property Taxes

March 13th, 2008 by flanews

Right now people, who try to pay their property taxes in Florida and can�t pony up the entire amount, are penalized. Tax collectors will actually send the partial payment back, plus a penalty. State lawmakers want to change the rules and allow landowners to pay in installments.

�I you have a 2,000 dollar tax bill and you get down to the end of the road and the tax payer only has a thousand dollars in his pocket . We�re saying we would like to be fair to you and deposit that check instead of sending it back to you with a penalty and interest on the whole thing. We think that�s a more fair way to run government and we think it�s fair to the taxpayers particularly now when property taxes are higher than ever,� said State Representative Seth McKeel.

The bill passed several committees. It has one more stop before it reaches the chambers.
