Florida just got a game-changing property tax proposal on the table—filed December 17—and it could be the most radical shift in Florida money and homeownership in state history. The “nuclear option” would abolish property taxes entirely, but replaces it with a 9% sales tax and a 5% “exit tax” when you sell your home.
In this video, Tom breaks down the two competing bills in Tallahassee (the safe “half measure” vs the full abolition plan), runs real math for homeowners, renters, and retirees, and exposes the loophole nobody is talking about: how cities could replace property taxes with non-ad valorem fees (fire, stormwater, police “assessments,” and more).
If you live in Florida—or plan to move here—this is the update you cannot ignore.

Florida’s “property tax abolition” plan sounds like freedom… until you do the math on the 9% sales tax + 5% exit tax and the fee loophole cities could exploit. What are you for: Plan A (partial relief) or Plan B (total abolition with tradeoffs)—and should the bill include hard caps on non-ad valorem fees to prevent a backdoor “property tax 2.0”?
