Florida floats scrapping property taxes by taxing Canadians

Original: Florida weighs ditching property taxes and sticking Canadians with the bill | CBC News

Florida voters are weighing whether to abolish residential property taxes, and Governor Ron DeSantis has proposed making up the potential revenue loss by imposing higher taxes on Canadians who own property in the state. Canadian snowbirds and media are closely watching the proposal, warning it could make Florida homes far more expensive for Canadian owners and strain cross-border ties.

Why now: The proposal would directly hit the many Canadians who own Florida property, and it touches ongoing Canada-US tensions.
