MY PROMISE TO FLORIDIANS
PILLAR IV — Property Tax Relief
Families Before Government Expansion
Florida families should not be taxed out of the homes they worked their entire lives to afford.
Property taxes have become a permanent burden — even after the mortgage is paid.
That is not stability.
That is dependence on government growth.
This pillar restores balance.
THE PLAN
Primary Residence
Property Tax Elimination
1. The Plan
WHO QUALIFIES:
- Primary residences only
- Homes valued at $500,000 or less
- Households earning under $250,000 per year
Under this plan:
Homeowners pay ZERO property tax on the first $500,000 of value.
Homes valued above $500,000:
Only the amount ABOVE $500,000 is taxed.
Example:
Home value: $800,000
Taxable amount: $300,000
Savings on first $500,000: Fully eliminated.
What Is NOT Included
• Rental properties
• Investment properties
• Commercial real estate
• Speculative holdings
This plan protects working families, not investors.
How It Is Funded
No new taxes
This plan does not raise taxes.
It restructures spending.
Funding Strategy:
- Mandatory 25% salary reduction for all elected officials statewide
- Reduce non-essential administrative overhead by up to 25%
- Eliminate duplication and waste
- Leverage AI-driven efficiencies to maintain services
- Protect law enforcement, firefighters, teachers, and infrastructure
Police, fire, and first responders will not be impacted.
Their budgets are protected and may increase.
Government must become lean before families are squeezed further.
Why This Matters
County and city governments operate with multimillion-dollar budgets.
Even modest efficiency reforms return billions to taxpayers.
The Principle
We cut government excess before we ever cut families.
Humanity Over the Dollar means government exists to serve homeowners, not expand itself.
