Florida mulls scrapping property taxes by taxing Canadians more

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

Florida is weighing whether to abolish residential property taxes, a move that would eliminate a major source of state and local revenue. Governor Ron DeSantis has floated a plan to make up the shortfall by imposing higher taxes on Canadian visitors and property owners. Critics question the legality and economics of targeting foreigners, while the proposal is heading toward Florida voters as part of a broader debate over tax reform.

Why now: The proposal to replace property tax revenue with taxes aimed at Canadians is unusual and affects cross-border relations, drawing attention in Canada and the US.
