佛罗里达州房主将不得不等待财产税减免

佛罗里达州立法者一致批准了一项措施，将州销售税永久降低到5.25％。

Florida homeowners may be disappointed to learn that they will have to wait for property tax relief as the state's House Ways and Means Committee has approved a measure to permanently reduce the state sales tax.

佛罗里达州的房主可能会失望地得知他们将不得不等待财产税减免，因为该州的众议院方法和手段委员会已批准了一项永久减少州销售税的措施。

The committee, with unanimous consent, passed the legislation that would decrease the sales tax from 6% to 5.25%. Additionally, the bill aims to lower sales taxes by 0.75% on various goods and services, including commercial rent, new mobile homes, coin-operated amusement machines, and electricity.

在一致同意下，该委员会通过了将营业税从6％降低到5.25％的立法。此外，该法案的目的是将各种商品和服务（包括商业租金，新移动房屋，货币经营的娱乐机器和电力）降低0.75％的营业税。

The measure, which is estimated to cost the state $5 billion annually, now proceeds to the full House for a vote.

该措施估计每年耗资50亿美元，现在要进行全部投票。

The approval comes as the governor had proposed an alternative plan to provide up to $1,000 in tax relief to each homesteaded property in the Sunshine State. The property tax relief rebates would have been issued in December 2025 if the Florida Legislature granted authority.

批准是由于州长提出了一项替代计划，向阳光州的每个居住财产提供多达1,000美元的税收减免。如果佛罗里达州立法机关授予当局，则财产税减免返还将在2025年12月发行。

According to the governor's office, the measure would have benefited over 5.1 million homeowners. That pitch appears left in the dust as legislators voted instead for a sales cut.

据州长办公室称，该措施将使超过510万的房主受益。当立法者投票赞成促销活动时，该音高出现在尘土中。

“Property taxes effectively require homeowners to pay rent to the government,” DeSantis said in a statement. “Constitutional protections for Florida homeowners require approval of the voters in 2026. In the meantime, Floridians need relief. I would prefer to see the tax burden on property values get shifted to non-Floridians who vacation here, invest here, or live here part-time.”

DeSantis在一份声明中说：“财产税有效地要求房主向政府支付租金。” “佛罗里达州房主的宪法保护需要在2026年获得选民的批准。与此同时，佛罗里达人需要救济。我宁愿看到财产价值的税收负担转移到在这里度假，在这里或在这里进行兼职的非氯化工人的税收负担。”

DeSantis added that he would like to see more transparency and accountability on how taxes are spent to curb overspending.

DeSantis补充说，他希望在如何遏制超支的税收上看到更多的透明度和问责制。

“In Florida, we have this great luxury of being able to offload tax burden to non-Floridians because people visit, people invest here, people live here part-time who aren't residents.”

“在佛罗里达州，我们拥有能够向非氯化工人扣除税收负担，因为人们参观，人们在这里投资，人们居住在这里的人们不是居民。”

So, what kind of tax cut will Floridians get? Here are some proposals on the table.

那么，佛罗里达人将获得什么样的减税？这是桌子上的一些建议。

DeSantis is planning to abolish property taxes and have the measure on the 2026 ballot.

DeSantis计划废除财产税，并在2026年投票中采取措施。

The governor has expressed support for a proposal that would eliminate property taxes in Florida. However, the bold proposal has roused concerns from economists on the implications this measure would have for state revenue.

州长表示支持一项将取消佛罗里达州财产税的提案。但是，大胆的提议引起了经济学家对这项措施对国家收入的影响的关注。

As reported by Kiplinger, in Florida, property taxes fund schools, infrastructure for roads and parks, and safety net programs — like firefighters, police departments, and public hospitals. This funding is essential given that the Sunshine State is a no-income state.

据吉普林格（Kiplinger）报道，佛罗里达州的财产税基金学校，道路和公园基础设施以及安全网计划（例如消防员，警察局和公立医院）。鉴于阳光状态是一个不收入的国家，这项资金至关重要。

According to the Florida Policy Institute (FPI), Florida’s tax on real property makes up 18% of county revenue, 17% of municipal revenue, and up to 60% of school district revenue. They say that eliminating property taxes would be problematic.

根据佛罗里达州政策研究所（FPI）的数据，佛罗里达州对房地产的税收占县收入的18％，市政收入的17％，最多占学区收入的60％。他们说，消除财产税将是有问题的。

“The tax has proved remarkably resilient and capable of being tailored to local interests,” the FPI analysts wrote. “It survives as the most important source of revenue in local governments primarily because of its stability.”

FPI分析师写道：“事实证明，这项税收非常有弹性，能够根据当地利益量身定制。” “它是地方政府最重要的收入来源，主要是因为其稳定。”

If Florida were to eliminate property taxes, the state would have to raise $43 billion (or $2,015 per person) to keep public services currently funded with property tax revenue afloat.

如果佛罗里达州取消财产税，该州将不得不筹集430亿美元（或每人2,015美元），以使目前以财产税收入为基金的公共服务保持流利。

To get close to getting that funding back, the state would need to double its sales tax rate to 12%. That would generate roughly $40.2 billion annually — that’s only if consumers can keep up with higher costs.

为了接近这笔资金，该州需要将其营业税率翻一番，达到12％。每年将产生大约402亿美元的价格 - 仅当消费者能够及时及时付出更高的成本时。

Separately, costs of everyday goods are expected to rise due to President Donald Trump’s sweeping tariff policies on imported goods to the U.S.

另外，由于总统唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump）对美国进口商品的全面关税政策，预计日常商品的成本将上涨

“Increasing sales taxes, whether it is at the local level or statewide, is a regressive option that would ultimately make Florida’s tax code more inequitable,” wrote the FPI.

FPI写道：“无论是在地方一级还是全州，增加营业税都是一种回归选择，最终将使佛罗里达的税法更加不公平。”

So far, Illinois, Pennsylvania, and Kansas have proposed similar measures to banish property taxes.

到目前为止，伊利诺伊州，宾夕法尼亚州和堪萨斯州已经提出了类似的措施来消除财产税。

Property taxes in some popular areas in Florida have risen sharply in recent years, according to Redfin. In Tampa, the median household paid $2,797 in property tax in 2024, that's up 56.7% from 2019.

据Redfin称，近年来，佛罗里达州一些受欢迎地区的财产税急剧上升。在坦帕，中位家庭在2024年支付了2,797美元的财产税，比2019年增长了56.7％。

Instead of providing $5 billion per year via a statewide sales cut, DeSantis would have preferred the Florida House to provide tax relief on property taxes.

DeSantis不是每年提供50亿美元的销售额，而是偏爱佛罗里达州的房屋来减免财产税。

Under DeSantis’ proposal, the cut would have resulted in a rebate averaging $1,000 for each homesteaded property in the state. The rebates would have also covered state-mandated school property taxes, which would guarantee school district funding while offering a tax break to homeowners.

根据DeSantis的提议，该州的削减将导致该州的每个居住财产平均1,000美元。回扣还将支付国家规定的学校财产税，这将保证学区资助，同时向房主提供税收减免。

The governor was counting on the legislature to approve the measure to get the rebates delivered to homeowners immediately, as soon as December 2025.

州长指望立法机关批准该措施，以立即将折扣交给房主，尽快将其送交房主。

“We want to be as bold as we can be, but we also have a reality that we have to get these things passed by the legislature,” DeSantis said during a conference at the Florida Realtors Association this month. “You gotta convince them.”

DeSantis在本月佛罗里达房地产经纪人协会的一次会议上说：“我们希望尽可能大胆，但我们也有一个现实，我们必须将这些事情通过。” “你必须说服他们。”
