Property Tax Reform & Spending Accountability

The Problem

Property taxes across Florida are climbing at a pace families simply can’t afford. Seniors on fixed incomes are being priced out of homes they’ve lived in for decades. Young families are wondering if they’ll ever truly “own” their home when the tax bill feels like a second mortgage.

At the same time, local governments keep expanding budgets with little transparency. Year after year, they demand more money from citizens without showing where it’s going or how it’s making life better.

The result? Families are squeezed while government grows fatter.


Why It Matters

Property taxes aren’t just numbers on a bill — they’re the difference between keeping a home and losing it. They determine whether seniors can retire in peace or are forced to downsize. They decide whether small businesses can expand or have to shut their doors.

And here’s the kicker: it’s not always about necessity, it’s about accountability. Local officials often spend beyond their means because taxpayers are treated like an endless piggy bank. That’s not just bad policy — it’s unfair.


Our Solution

Guardians of Liberty is fighting for real reform to bring fairness, transparency, and accountability back to property taxation.

We’re pushing for policies that:

 

  • Cap property tax increases so families can plan with confidence.
  • Require transparent, voter-approved budgets for major spending increases.
  • Force local officials to justify every dollar instead of treating taxpayers like a blank check.
  • Tie spending growth to household income growth, not bureaucratic wish lists.

What We’re Doing

  • Petition Drives — Mobilizing citizens to demand property tax reform across counties.
  • Legislative Advocacy — Pushing for state-level reforms that require local governments to be transparent and accountable.
  • Community Education — Hosting Liberty Forums to show people how their tax dollars are being spent (and misspent).
  • Local Action Teams — Training volunteers to track, research, and expose wasteful local budgets.

How You Can Help

This is a fight we can win — but only if citizens stand together. Here’s how you can help today:

 

  • Sign the Petition to demand property tax reform.
  • Join a Chapter and help push accountability at your local commission.
  • Volunteer to collect signatures, educate neighbors, and attend budget hearings.
  • Donate to fuel grassroots campaigns across Florida.

The Bottom Line

No family should fear losing their home because of rising property taxes. No community should be stuck with bloated budgets and zero accountability.

Property tax reform isn’t just an issue — it’s a fight for fairness, transparency, and the future of Florida families.

Together, we can pass the reforms that give citizens control and put government back in its proper place: serving the people.
