Florida weighs ending property taxes, targeting Canadians instead

Original: Florida weighs ditching property taxes and sticking Canadians with the bill | CBC News

Florida voters are considering whether to abolish residential property taxes, a move that would eliminate a major source of state and local revenue. Governor Ron DeSantis has floated making up the shortfall by taxing Canadian visitors and property owners more heavily. The proposal has drawn attention in Canada, where snowbirds and cross-border homeowners could face higher costs, and critics question the plan's practicality and legality.

Why now: A US state governor is openly proposing to offset a major tax cut by charging Canadians more, which directly affects Canadian snowbirds and cross-border relations.
