Legislatively Speaking...
Foremost on our minds for many years now, has been phasing out the sales tax on commercial leases, recognizing that this tax puts Florida at a disadvantage in bringing new businesses to Florida; since Florida is the only state that imposes this tax.
It is believed that cost of this tax to small businesses is approximately $1.7 billion each year. Imagine the number of employees that could be hired and the improvements made in the workplace if this tax was finally abolished. Florida Realtors and the Florida CCIM Chapter have worked closely with the legislature for several years, initially seeking to abolish the tax and gradually seeking to phase it out, identifying it as a business rent tax. Once again, our efforts failed this year as the legislature elected instead to provide $428 million to offset higher property taxes. Our lobbyists worked diligently on this issue, and, promise to lead the charge again in the next session.
On July 1st some rule changes in Florida's Building Code take effect.
