Florida has a formula. And it works.
Low taxes. No state income tax. Balanced budgets. Efficient property tax system. Strong history of local decision-making.
The result: Florida remains one of the most tax-efficient states in the nation—delivering quality local services and a high quality of life, all while providing real value for taxpayer dollars.
Just ask the folks in Texas, who pay twice as much in property taxes as Floridians—and get less local say in return. Or the families leaving high-tax states like New York in search of something better.
Here in the Sunshine State, most essential services—public safety, emergency response, garbage collection, clean water—are funded locally. That means your tax dollars stay close to home, supporting the priorities that matter most in your community.
But now, some in the State Capitol are floating new proposals that risk unraveling what works.
Changing how local services are funded means shifting decision-making away from neighborhoods, police and fire departments, and the local services that keep our communities safe.
Let’s be clear: Florida’s affordability crisis won’t be solved with one-size-fits-all mandates or special interest tax giveaways. It requires real solutions—and that starts with protecting the Florida Formula.
Because protecting what works starts with listening to the local voices it works for.
