Ad Valorem Tax Ceiling Proposed by Florida Democrats
In Tallahassee Senate Democrats led by President Verle Pope drafted a bill to cap ad valorem taxes and force counties to find alternate revenue sources. The measure limits county tax on homes to 0.75 percent of assessed value, allowing up to 10 educational mills plus voter-approved mills, and caps overall ad valorem at 2.25 mills. Senators Barron and Chiles argued the plan shifts reliance from property taxes to broader bases while preserving needed funds. They noted some counties already exceed the proposed millage and warned adjustments may be required.
