The Legis- they move to another home. 2012 SESSION ers failed on a tie vote in a House subcommittee Tues- day after opponents said it would shift the tax burden to non-homestead proper- ties and “bully” local governments. Supporters argued the proposed state constitu- tional amendment (HJR 1289) would have helped cure inequities among homeowners created by the existing Save Our Homes amendment. Voters, though, still will have a chance to cut prop- erty taxes through another proposal lawmakers last year placed on the Novem- ber 2012 ballot. Amendment 4 includes a “super exemp- tion” for primary homeown- ers except for school taxes, as well as some relief for businesses and other non- 000AE3A homestead properties. The proposal that went down 7-7 in the House Com- munity and Military Affairs Subcommittee would have added another non-school tax super exemption for pri- mary homeowners. It also would have authorized the
Legislature to increase 000AIXP homestead exemptions in the future. “It lets the state bully local ... governments and say ‘We know best, we’re going to take your money; you figure out how to fund all the things you need to do with less money,’” said Rep. Fred- erick Costello, R-Ormond Beach. “That’s wrong.” Costello’s comment drew a retort from Rep. Charles Van Zant, R-Keystone Heights. “This bill isn’t bullying,” Van Zant said. “In fact, it is defending our citizens to stop the decades of bullying through property taxes that have been invoked on them by local government.” Van Zant said the proposal, sponsored by Rep. Jason Brodeur, R-Sanford, should be passed as a step to even- tually eliminating property taxes and replacing them with a sales tax increase. Rep. Scott Randolph said that kind of piecemeal ap- proach would reduce bond ratings, which would in- crease governmental bor- rowing costs, and cause taxes for non-homestead properties to go up. “Don’t look at this bill as a tax cut,” said the Orlando Democrat. “This is a tax shift.” The proposal is one of several attempts lawmakers have made, including Amendment 4, to reduce in- equities that resulted from Save Our Homes amend- ment, which passed through a citizens initiative in the 1990s. It put a 3 percent annual cap on assessment increases for primary homes. That’s resulted in recent home buy- ers paying larger tax bills than longtime beneficiaries of Save Our Homes although the market value of their houses may be the same. It’s also meant non-homestead properties, including rentals and second homes, have paid more to make up for savings that have gone to ri- 000AB3E SPageTATE A3 - WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 2012& LOCAL
