The Truth about our Taxes in SW Florida

Today in the local newspaper there was an article about the property tax issue. In the article the author appears to report that there is relief in site for the property taxes here. This is really not true. While it is true that legislators are working on developing a plan for property tax relief  unfortunately there is not  a proposal in place at the moment.

The one that is currently proposed is simply to 'freeze' the current taxes. To me this is not a relief, it's actually making it worse. Assessed values are still much higher than true market values in most cases. What would make sense is to go back to 2003 or 2004 tax values. Or to reassess all at today's real market value.
