DeSantis said that as part of the DOGE initiative, Florida will be looking at ways to end property taxes in the state.
He said Florida has been cutting taxes, but people have seen their property tax liability rise over the last few years because property is being assessed “higher and higher.”
The governor added that as part of the state DOGE initiative, the task force will look into and audit local government expenditures by utilizing publicly available county and municipal spending records so that information can be provided in a “digestible way” for Florida taxpayers.
“Just for being on your property, you’ve got to write a check to the government every year, so you’re basically paying rent to the government to live on your own property,” DeSantis said.
The governor said Florida’s homestead exemption is “not strong enough” to help people with high property taxes because “the property gets assessed so high.”
