TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- The Florida Supreme Court has knocked a proposal for a property tax cap from the 2010 ballot.
In an opinion posted Friday, five justices said the ballot summary was misleading. Two justices dissented.
The proposal is a citizen initiative that would cap property taxes at 1.35 percent of the highest taxable value of a home, business or other real estate, although voters could approve exceptions.
Petition sponsors said tax cuts ordered by law last year and through another state constitutional amendment passed in January 2008 don't go far enough.
About Me
- Rich Cornelius
- Born in New York, I retired to the Tampa Bay area at the ripe old age of 18 months, and have been a resident ever since. I attended Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, received my Bachelors Degree in Aeronautical Science and became an airline pilot with a major carrier. After 5 years in professional aviation, I joined Sand Key Realty, Sales & Rentals. While at Sand Key Realty, I successfully sold more than $10M in residential real estate, including one of the highest sales on record on Clearwater Beach. In June of '07, I joined Coldwell Banker Residential Real Estate in Clearwater so I could better serve family, friends and clients alike and meet all of their real estate needs. In real estate, as in aviation, I do it right the first time because of the trust and responsibility placed in me by my clients. Simply put, it’s all about the details.
