		<description>John,
Thanks for your note. We agree that the current system is not right. The same tax for all property owners would be more fair. We do have some in our state legislature who have been trying to get such a property tax change enacted, but it is a slow process (slowed down even more by the economic downturn). And ironically, those who use government services (such as schools) the least are the snowbirds, yet unless they homestead here, they pay a higher property tax. 

I will reply to you privately with some additional information that may be of help as you consider a Southwest Florida property purchase. 

As always, we appreciate your feedback, questions, and comments!
-Brenda &amp; Dave</description>

		<description>Hi from Ottawa Canada,

Interesting thread....

I am considering purchasing a property in SW Florida as well. The only show stopper at this point is the taxation.  Buying into such a biased system of taxation is just plain uncomfortable, even for those of us who are used to high taxes!  

The irony is that the unfair tax grab is no-doubt acting as a barrier to potential purchasers like myself who, with their purchases, would increase demand in the market and perhaps put a floor under the falling prices.  The same falling prices that most severely affect the &quot;homesteader&quot;, who has to make his/her living in the local economy!</description>

		<description>The reason people who do not reside in Florida full-time pay more taxes, I beleive, is that if they are not bringing money to the state through sales tax, since they live and consume elsewhere. The state needs tax money in order to run.</description>

		<description>Currently, interest rates are lower than they have been in some time. If you are thinking of buying a home, now is certainly the time to do so. A recent market report reflects that U.S. property has become an increasingly more attractive opportunity for home buyers and investors. U.S. property values in many areas are at an all time low thus causing much upside potential. Knowing where not to buy a home is as important as are the dos and don’ts of buying a home. There is a tool which can erase all the confusion related to home buying. It&#039;s a tool which Identifies properties with the most value, establishes the right price range to pay, projects long-term cash flow and appreciation &amp; assesses how to maximize after-tax returns.  For more information look into http://www.smartzip.com/info/score</description>

		<description>Hello, I read your post with interest.  If you are interested in more information about property taxes in Florida, I just started a blog devoted to that issue.  My goal is to first publish some basic information that would be helpful to property owners (and prospective property owners), and then offer more information about the recent changes and how they affect people.  I would welcome your feedback.</description>

		<description>Dear Frustrated Firemen, Certainly agree it would be nice if everyone paid the same rates, but at least this cap is better than the prior years where assessed value (and subsequent taxes) could skyrocket. And now, with property prices so low, it&#039;s a good time to buy low and &quot;set the level&quot; if you will at what baseline the % increases are measured (when the market goes up).</description>

		<description>I do think that the Florida property tax regime creates more problems that it solves.  The fact that some people, be they U.S. citizens, Canadians or whatever, are treated unequally should cause concern.  Moreover, the people who pay more are, by nature, the people who use the services less, being out-of-state for a significant portion of the year.

The fact that there is now some type of cap on non-residents&#039; assessment increases doesn&#039;t make the system fairer.  A 10% cap on non-residents&#039; assessments, when there is a 3% cap on residents&#039; assessments, will ultimately increase the disparity between the two groups.  Perhaps we should limit the decrease in value for residents to 3%/yr and the decrease in value for non-residents to 10%/yr.  At some point, we would get back to when the Save Our Homes amendment was passed, and then start over.

Don&#039;t get me wrong.  I love Florida, and I&#039;ll stay there and pay whatever taxes regardless.  But this type of tax regime is unfair, and takes advantage of an essentially powerless group.  I&#039;m not sure that the citizens of your state want to be known for that type of attitude.  Certainly, when I&#039;m down visiting, I get treated with kindness and respect.</description>

		<description>My wife and I have been looking at properties in Cape Coral for nearly a year now and even have an agent who sends us listings daily.
We plan a permanent move to Cape Coral sometime in the second half of 2009. I would love to get some kind of map that details the canal system and lakes in the entire Cape Coral area and showing what canals have gulf access and access into the Caloosahatchee River. If available, I would like a map that also shows the canal and lake names as well.

Regards,
Harold Figgs Jr.</description>

		<description>Too bad that people cannot understand where to park.  The Cape should have the people park somewhere like Publix and Sweetbay and than be bused to the event.  When people park on both sides of the street in the area it is not safe for anyone to walk or drive because the roads become a one-way street with people trying to drive both ways.  Please understand when I tell everyone not to park in my yard I don&#039;t do this to be mean, mainly I do this so there is room for people to walk safely in the area.  I will not let anyone park in my coner lot so please just understand the roads are just large enough for two cars to drive by each other not to park on both sides.</description>
