Eliminate Real Estate Taxes
This petition hereby directs the State of Florida to place on the next statewide election ballot the following proposal:
All real estate taxes will be eliminated. All state, county, and local government personell and/or departments tasked with the appraisal and/or collection of real estate taxes are to be eliminated. The state sales tax will be increased by 1.75% to achieve a revenue neutral effect. No state sales tax increases will be permitted without said increase being on a statewide vote by the people.
Why is this important?
Eliminate Real Estate Taxes by increasing sales taxes on a revenue neutral basis. Average sales tax increase required would be 1.75% (est). No sales tax increases can be authorized without a statewide popular vote. Eliminate all county and state offices that are presently tasked with the appraisal or collection of these taxes.
