County leaders from across Florida were at the Capitol yesterday, speaking out on the serious impacts the proposed property tax changes could have. Their message was clear: these proposals will shift costs, reduce local services, and limit counties' ability to meet residents' needs.

🏆 We’re the 5th Lowest!! 🎉

According to the Tax Foundation's 2026 State Tax Competitiveness Index, Florida is #5 out of 50 states. Those wanting to drastically lower property taxes forget to mention that Floridians don't pay state income taxes like 41 states, the District of Columbia and some localities.

The State Tax Competitiveness Index compares each state on more than 150 variables in the five major areas of taxation (corporate taxes, individual income taxes, sales and excise taxes, property and wealth taxes, and unemployment insurance taxes and then adds the results to yield a final, overall ranking.

The decisions made in this special session will negatively impact Florida for generations. Lawmakers need to hear from the people who know the math, the services, and the residents who depend on both.
