A Message From
2017 FL CCIM Chapter President
The Revisions To Florida Law Projected To Save Florida Businesses And Business Owners In Excess of $2 Billion!
I am delighted to report that the
2017 Florida Legislative Session
was a great success for the State's Commercial Real Estate Industry.
Many leaders of the
Florida CCIM Chapter,
past and present, as well as officers from the CCIM Institute worked tirelessly during the most recent 60-day session in Tallahassee. Through coordination and working with Florida Realtors we were able to advocate for and help secure:
- A permanent 10% cap on non-homestead property taxes
- $270 Million dollars in State funding for affordable housing
- A cap on Estoppel Fees
- A first time ever reduction of the Business Rent Tax from 6% to 5.8% saving Florida businesses an estimated $61 million dollars
- $500 Million dollars dedicated to the preservation of Florida's vital natural resources including the Florida Everglades, our beaches and springs
- The implementation of a tangible personal property tax exemption for renewable energy devices like rooftop solar panels installed by businesses and commercial entities
- Several changes to the Florida's Condominium Act designed to provide more transparency and protections to purchasers and residents
