67: The Local Impact of Florida Property Tax Reform with Commissioner Bill Braswell

Polk County Commissioner Bill Braswell joins Todd for a timely conversation on the proposed Florida constitutional amendment involving property taxes and homestead exemptions. Bill breaks down how property tax bills are calculated, the role of the property appraiser, how millage rates are set, and why rising property values can increase tax bills even when local millage rates are reduced. Todd and Bill also discuss how local government is funded, what the proposed amendment could mean for counties, cities, parks, libraries, public safety, and other local services, as well as the broader challenges tied to growth management, infrastructure, housing affordability, and the future of Polk County. The conversation offers a practical look at how state-level decisions can shape day-to-day services at the local level, and why understanding the full tax structure matters before voters head to the ballot box. Learn more about Todd's Podcast at ToddDantzler.com.Click here to text Todd!
