Governor DeSantis Calls for Special Legislative Session to Finish the Budget

Published | Video Starts at 14:33

Think about this. When I became governor 2019, and property taxes are local, it's, we don't do it at the state level. It's administered locally, levied, locally spent locally. Local governments in Florida took in 32 billion in property tax revenue [in 2019]. Today it's 60 billion. Seven years later, they've gone from 32 to 60 billion. So and of that only 30% is Homestead, Florida resident property tax. The rest is second homes, Airbnbs Investment. (14:33–14:40)
