Just a quick update on the property tax issue.  Looks like we will have to wait until June 12-22 for the next special session   Another idea that is being proposed is the first $300,000 of a homestead's assessed value would have an 80% exemption, the next $700,000 would have 70%, and over $1million would have a 30% exemption.

As we are all experiencing, the current Homestead Exemption is only good if you have lived in the property for a while.  Once you move, you pay the full taxable value.  This is one of the reasons why the houses around $500,000 are suffering because there are no move up buyers who can afford to pay the tax increase.
