I want to alert future snowbirds of the 2 tier tax system in Florida extorting the snowbird. The resident has a cap of 3% on property taxes, no cap on the snowbird, no vote..A snowbird taxes can go up 60% in one year or more..Check your PC on snowbirds and taxes for all the details..

Not Just Snowbirds!Reply to this Comment
It is not just snowbirds getting hit with the skyrocketing taxes - it is any new person buying into the Florida real estate market. We would like to resettle in Florida and spend the rest of our days here but we are not about to trade $8,000. in NJ real estate taxes for $8,000 in Fla taxes and then another $8,000 in homeowners insurance in Fla. They have to straighten a whole lot of issues out before I take the plunge in Fla. Tenn is starting to look really good!
Florida snowbirdsReply to this Comment
Tennessee is a better place than Florida for snowbirds because we, the permanent residents of Florida, have had enough of the bad driving, the constant noise of ambulances and the inane bingo parties. If your retired, stay away from our state!
SnowbirdsReply to this Comment
Yes! We have all been witness to your bad driving in Fla with broken glass, bits of metal and even windshield wipers at every U-Turn! And we have heard your ambulances day and night. Don't they just love to use those sirens. Of course we do help pay your taxes a bit when we are here and add to your tradesmen businesses. Why don't you join us in Tenn? This state is slowly evolving into millionaires - want to stay and work for them?
SnowbirdsReply to this Comment
Wow! "we, the permanent residents of Florida...." don't know too many of them. When I read the obits every day seems to me that only 1 out of maybe 15-20 people were actually born here - all the rest moved here from somewhere else. And since this is the southern most state - Gee! I guess that would make most of the "permanent residents" snowbirds from somewhere at one time or another!!

Ignorant Redneck commentsReply to this Comment
It has always been ignorant rednecks like you who live in our state that make the world think us Southerners are backward hicks. Grow up and wake up. Other than a percentage of citrus and strawberries, Florida produces little of anything the world needs. Without tourism we would still be swamp land.
