We have a long way to go to be that high. Texas has way higher property taxes than California.

Does that mean he's going to eliminate Homestead Exemption?

Moronic. If gov growth and spending never slow, why bother.
Oh, concerning Florida:
WSJ: Flordia Explores Ditching Property Tax as Home Prices Soar

Killing property taxes would leave the state more reliant on its sales tax and strip local governments of revenue to fund everything from schools to social services. A full repeal is unlikely soon, but the idea is gaining political traction, reflecting the strain homeowners are under.
quote:
In 2022, Zoe Tosteson Losada, 69, purchased her dream retirement home in Palm Beach Gardens for $809,000.
About a year after the purchase, Tosteson Losada saw her annual property-tax bill explode, to about $10,700 from about $6,000, because the value of the home was reassessed after changing hands. She has since realized that the cost of the taxes, coupled with ballooning insurance costs, makes staying there unlikely.
quote:
In Florida, which has no personal income tax, property taxes play a significant role in paying for schools, police, parks and other services. They account for 18% of county revenue, 17% of municipal revenue and 50% to 60% of school-district revenue, according to a recent report by the Florida Policy Institute, a nonprofit focused on economic mobility. If property taxes were eliminated, the sales tax would have to be at least doubled, to 12%, to make up for the lost revenue, the report said.
quote:
In a recent memo to county commissioners, Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava, a Democrat, said the removal of property taxes would mean a $3 billion loss of revenue. “Eliminating this tax would force us to make extremely drastic public safety cuts that would directly endanger the health and well-being of our community,” she wrote.

Defund your city bureaucracy.

This is why it’s important to get out and vote in every single election, even the random ones on some cold rainy day in February.
So many millages are passed & renewed in these random, bullshite elections.
EBRPSS had millages for renewal last Spring and it passed with only 14% voter turnout. You think those 14% are property owners?

It's all a scam so the government and high-level insiders can own all the housing and property to control the masses.
Soon, we will not be able to afford homes because of the insurance scam and tax scam.
You think the legislature will fix it?

This has likely already been discussed, but my property taxes went up 42% in the last year. Paired with another 33% increase for insurance, Baton Rouge is becoming less and less attractive.
Mine doubled, went from $2k to $4k

Yep. East Baton Rouge Parish as a whole is a dying city.
It's like owning a home in a subdivision where slowly houses are being turned into rentals, there comes a point there the percentage of rentals makes it financially prohibitive to own a home there anymore and the owners' market collapses. Those that can't get out are stuck in a shitty subdivision and the value of their home has evaporated.

I am in central FL. 7% sales tax, no state income tax, and property tax is similar to BR. The crime rate is substantially lower, the govt. doesn't steal all of the taxes, and doesn't spend millions on 30 years of studies before they can do anything.

That's my dream. Half the city lives in houses that cost $60,000 so they'll vote for any increase in property taxes since it doesn't affect them.

St. George is a day late and a dollar short. Bad people and crime have already infiltrated the area. I lived in a very nice subdivision there and now it’s surrounded in low life crime on just about every path out of my old neighborhood. Take my advice. Get out of BR.

I hate the no income tax high property tax model. I can choose to make less money but I can’t reduce my property tax burden and continue to own said property

No one else seems to notice that. I stopped at that Racetrack around 9 PM for gas a month ago. The customers in there looked like the Racetrack on Siegen Lane.
