What's With The Tax Reform Proposal?

Here is important information I received from Marc Rubio, Speaker, FLorida House of Representatives



Dear Property Tax Reform Supporter:

I want to give you an update on yesterday’s property tax meeting in Tallahassee.

Yesterday, House and Senate leaders agreed to set the date for the constitutional referendum on property tax relief and reform for January 29, 2008. That’s also the date of Florida’s Presidential Primary election, and it makes a great deal of sense to hold the election then. By combining the two votes, taxpayers will not have to pay to hold two separate elections. Further, more voters will be likely to participate in the election than if they were held separately. But most importantly, holding the election in January 2008 instead of waiting until November 2008 ensures that constitutional property tax relief will be realized for Florida property owners on the new tax bills they receive in October 2008.

As I described yesterday, we anticipate all taxpayers seeing relief this year in the form of a rollback, cut and cap. With the vote set for January 2008, that means that property owners will receive additional relief in the form of the super exemptions on their homestead properties in October 2008, instead of waiting until October 2009. If passed by the voters, it will mean two straight years of property tax cuts, something I believe we all can support.

I also need to clarify something I wrote yesterday. House and Senate leaders are still working on the best way to cut taxes for non-homestead residential properties. In my email to you I may have sounded like an agreement had already been reached on how to cut taxes on those properties. The tax cuts I described yesterday of a flat percentage exemption for non-homestead residential properties are just one of the options that we are considering to cut taxes for those property owners. There are other options still under consideration, and I want to make sure we do not limit those options. So while we have decided to lower taxes on non-homestead properties this year under our statutory rollback, cut and cap, we are still working on the best way to cut taxes for those properties constitutionally.

We are making great progress in moving towards the largest tax relief package in the history of Florida. With the final details being decided this week, we anticipate coming to Tallahassee next week ready to cut property taxes for all Florida property owners and help ensure that the next tax bill that Floridians receive is a tax bill that they can afford.

Your support of our efforts has been crucial. Please continue to stay involved over the next two weeks so that we can bring record tax relief home to Floridians.

VENETIAN BAY NEW SMYRNA BEACH, FL

Imagine a city within a city, a place that evokes tradition and the refinement and style of Italy. A planned pedestrian mall, brick walkways and outdoor eating areas further diminish the need for automobile traffic, although there will be parking spaces downtown. It is a concept used successfully in award-winning communities such as Disney's Celebration.The New Smyrna FL community will have 1,800 homes, with 200 to 300 new homes being built each year on the 1,200 acre property, which stretches between Pioneer Trail and S.R. 44 just east of Samsula.
Plans call for single family homes, estate homes, golf villas, patio homes, condominiums, and apartments! In addition there will be porches, mosaics, old fashioned streetlights and Mediterranean vegetation throughout the common area. Venetian Bay will celebrate Italian architecture and life with beautiful homes, a landscape bright with flowers, fountains and shimmering water, and a village center inspired by its beloved Italian counterparts. In Venetian Bay, New Smyrna residents will be able to walk to stores and restaurants, stop for a cup of cappuccino, and enjoy an Old World neighborhood concept with a contemporary accent.
Drive through Tuscan-style gates and you’re thirty minutes to shopping and entertainment in Orlando and eight minutes to fun in the sun at the pristine New Smyrna Beach. Daytona Speedway, Kennedy Space Center, historical St. Augustine and all Florida attractions are just a short drive away.
