Those were only the items I highlighted for the thread material.
My taxes are over $7,000.
Similar homes in the hood are over $12,000.
Mine is lower than those who bought recently due to having Homestead Exemption since I purchased in 2000.
Not only does Homestead Exemption provide a $50K reduction off assessed value, it also caps the assessed value increase at 3.00% each year--called Florida Save Our Homes, which is supposed to the lesser of 3,00% or the CPI.
With that said, these losers in gov will increase millage rates as high as they want, and increase line item non-ad valorems, while adding new line item non-ad valorems.
The state Homestead Exemption is great, but does nothing from stopping the counties, school board and your town mafia tactics.
