Instead of a cut in sales taxes as proposed by the House, DeSantis says he wants to provide a $1,000 tax break to all homestead property owners.

The governor called on the Florida Legislature to grant the necessary authority to issue the rebates immediately, leveraging the state’s strong revenue position to benefit full-time residents.

DeSantis on Monday said state and local governments can maintain their "core functions" by offloading the tax burden on non-Floridians.
