What you need to know as property tax bills arrive this month

Governor Ron DeSantis, while speaking in Matlacha on Wednesday, mentioned that the legislature would likely look at property tax relief for hurricane impacted homeowners in its December special session. It’s not clear what any sort of economic relief would look like. After Hurricane Michael hit the Florida panhandle in 2018, the legislature erased tax payments on destroyed property.
