No Property Taxes? How Florida Home Prices Could Jump 20 % Overnight
If Florida axed property taxes tomorrow, what would really happen to housing affordability, commercial cap rates, and the state’s $20-billion revenue stream?
In this episode I'll walk you through:
- Payment-First Reality – why buyers shop by monthly budget, not sticker price, and how wiping out a 1.5 % tax line lets a $500 k home sell for ~$600 k without raising the payment.
- Cap-Rate Shockwave – a quick primer on Net Operating Income and why a missing tax bill can boost a commercial building’s value by hundreds of thousands.
- Winners & Losers – homeowners, landlords, theme-park operators, county budgets, and first-time buyers.
- Fiscal Trade-Offs – schools, roads, and police still need funding; where would the money come from?
- Actionable Takeaways – how investors, sellers, and would-be buyers should position themselves if the tax talk heats up.
Grab your coffee, hit play, and get the numbers you need to sound smart at your next closing table—or your next neighborhood BBQ.
