The analysis is in, and it’s ponderous. A comprehensive study of Florida property tax laws – ordered by the Florida Legislature and conducted by a team of economists from the University of Florida and Florida State University – was released yesterday. Issued in three parts, the entire study has 689 pages and sometimes-challenging text. But it does study the state’s property tax problems from all angles. For example, the study finds that only 9.2 percent of Florida households would be better off keeping their Save Our Homes exemption if the proposed property tax amendment passes in January – but the authors also note that far more would opt to keep SOH under that scenario.
