As affordability concerns persist, two in three Florida voters say that if the issue were on the ballot today, they’d support a constitutional amendment to reduce or eliminate property taxes.
And according to new polling from the James Madison Institute, a Tallahassee-headquartered think tank, 65% of Floridians said they’d now vote “yes” to cut or end property taxes.
Unsurprisingly, it’s about the same share (66%) who say they are concerned about being able to afford their homes because of property taxes and housing costs.
Thirty-three percent of Florida voters want property taxes eliminated outright, while 39% say property taxes should be limited but remain a valid revenue source for local governments.
When Targoz conducted a similar poll in April, it found 46% of respondents supported eliminating property taxes, while 32% preferred reducing sales taxes.
