Podcasts about property taxes

Today we're breaking down HJR 203, a proposal that could eliminate city and county property taxes for Florida homesteaded homeowners starting in 2027 — potentially cutting tax bills in half.But there's a catch.State economists project a $14.8 billion annual gap in local budgets, which fund police, fire departments, roads, and public services. So the real question is: will homeowners see true relief, or will costs shift elsewhere?I also share a potential solution — a structured visitor tax on the 143 million people who visit Florida each year — that could help offset the deficit while protecting residents.This isn't just about taxes. It's about balance, growth, and protecting Florida's future. That's the common denominator.Like this episode? Leave a review here:https://ratethispodcast.com/commondenominator

Today we're going to talk about a due diligence mistake that shows up in underwriting all the time, and it can be a silent killer of your cash flow. It's the assumption that the existing property tax assessment, the number you see on the tax bill today, is a reliable input for your forward-looking pro forma. In some jurisdictions, it's not.In fact, in certain places the current tax bill is almost meaningless for a buyer, because the act of changing hands triggers a reassessment. And that reassessment is designed to “catch up” for years, sometimes decades, of artificially low increases under the prior owner.If you don't model that correctly, you can buy a property that looks like it has a healthy debt service coverage ratio, only to discover after closing that your taxes reset upward and your deal has a permanent drag on returns.Let's break down why this happens, where investors get fooled, and how to underwrite it the right way.First, why can the existing tax bill be misleading?Because property tax systems are not uniform.In one jurisdiction, the assessed value may track market value closely and update frequently. In another, the assessed value might move slowly, or be capped, or lag reality for years. Some places have rules that limit annual assessment increases for existing owners, and then reset the assessment to near-market value on sale.The seller might have held the asset for a long time. During that holding period, their assessed value increased at a limited rate, maybe one percent, two percent, or tied to inflation. Meanwhile, market values doubled.So the seller is paying taxes on a value that's anchored in the past.You, as the buyer, are stepping into the present.-------------**Real Estate Espresso Podcast:** Spotify: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://open.spotify.com/show/3GvtwRmTq4r3es8cbw8jW0?si=c75ea506a6694ef1)   iTunes: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-real-estate-espresso-podcast/id1340482613)   Website: [www.victorjm.com](http://www.victorjm.com)   LinkedIn: [Victor Menasce](http://www.linkedin.com/in/vmenasce)   YouTube: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](http://www.youtube.com/@victorjmenasce6734)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/realestateespresso](http://www.facebook.com/realestateespresso)   Email: [podcast@victorjm.com](mailto:podcast@victorjm.com)  **Y Street Capital:** Website: [www.ystreetcapital.com](http://www.ystreetcapital.com)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital](https://www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital)   Instagram: [@ystreetcapital](http://www.instagram.com/ystreetcapital)  

Today from SDPB - property tax talk in Pierre, housing dollars used to support airport expansion, school lunches bill set for hearing Monday and former Gov. Kristi Noem is no longer the head of the Department of Homeland Security.

It's time for our weekly Roundabout where our panel with an assortment of viewpoints take on the headlines of the week. If you're wondering why there's so much talk about property taxes in Nashville, it's partly because 2025 taxes were due last week and a lot of homeowners and businesses simply can't afford it. It's hard to complain about the value of your property doubling or tripling in the last decade — but selling isn't a simple solution. There's new movement from local businesses pushing back, and the state legislature is advancing a cap on future increases. Today we dive deep into local issues including this considerable increase in property taxes, the risk of sinkholes from the tunnel construction and the proposed six-lane boulevard that's part of the East Bank development project.And we hear from you! Call 615-760-2000 with your question or comment during the show. Or, you can chime in on our live YouTube stream.Guests Cynthia Abrams, Metro Reporter, Nashville Public Radio Lauren Morales, Chief Operating Officer, TomKats Hospitality Tom Wills, Community Volunteer

(The Center Square) - An Illinois megaproject bill about a new Chicago Bears stadium project passed through a House committee Thursday, but it did so with a warning from several legislators and an advocacy group that the bill could lead to a meteoric rise in property tax bills in multiple communities in the state. The bill will next go to the House for a vote with sponsor Kam Buckner, D-Chicago, saying he didn't know how quickly it would be taken up for a vote. The bill would allow the Bears' proposed $5 billion stadium project and any $500 million project in the state to pay a negotiated lower rate instead of the same property tax that other companies and residents pay and it would allow the construction of the facility to be done sales tax free for 10 years.

Notably, the law would only apply to homesteaded properties, which is where a minority of property tax revenue comes from. According to the latest study by the Florida Policy Institute, homesteaded property taxes only accounted for 36% of statewide property tax revenue collected. In other words, all existing taxing authorities would still exist for all other property types, with annual increases limited under current state law.

Mayor Zohran Mamdani unveiled his first preliminary budget this week, creating some controversy as he revealed that it includes a proposal to raise property taxes on millions of city homeowners if Gov. Kathy Hochul doesn't agree to a tax hike on the rich. Was it simply a political bluff, or was the mayor serious? NY1 investigative reporter Courtney Gross and political reporters Ayana Harry and Dan Rivoli break down his plan. Meanwhile, Mamdani took one step toward fulfilling his promise to freeze rents for stabilized tenants, while appearing to reverse course on a vow to end homeless encampment sweeps. On Wednesday, the mayor appointed six members to the nine-member Rent Guidelines Board, which is tasked with setting rents for the city's approximately 1 million stabilized units. He also said his administration would bring back encampment sweeps, under a modified policy overseen by the Department of Homeless Services rather than the NYPD. The "Off Topic" team weighs in on the mayor's latest moves.

Sarah Curry returns to the studio to break down the K–12 budget process and why school spending decisions matter for property taxes—especially because, in most places, schools make up the largest share of the property tax bill. The core premise is simple: if “spending drives taxes” is true for cities and counties, it's true for school districts too, and taxpayers deserve to understand what local boards control versus what they don't.They challenge the common talking point that “schools can't control budgets” because the state sets the funding formula. Sarah argues that while Iowa's state funding system is real, it doesn't eliminate local discretion. Districts still make years of cumulative decisions on staffing levels, compensation strategy, programming, and priorities. Instead of treating “more dollars” as the primary measure of success, she pushes boards to ask whether spending actually improves outcomes—especially reading proficiency and core academic performance.The conversation also digs into why budget stress is spiking now. COVID-era federal money provided a temporary cushion, and Iowa's budget guarantee helped soften the impact of declining enrollment by holding districts harmless for a period. But there's a catch: budget guarantee is funded by property taxes, and when boards adopt the needed resolution, it becomes a local decision that can raise property taxes regardless of whatever the legislature sets for statewide growth.They close with what's on the March ballot: only 12 school districts have measures this cycle, mostly Physical Plant & Equipment Levy (PPEL) questions and Revenue Purpose Statements tied to SAVE (the one-cent sales tax for school infrastructure). With typically low turnout in March elections, they encourage voters to pay attention—because these ballot questions can shape local tax bills and spending commitments for years.00:00 — Intro + Sarah Curry back in studio01:48 — Trivia detour: Iowa county history05:05 — Why school budgets matter for property taxes07:02 — The myth: “schools can't control budgets”09:23 — Programs vs. outcomes: how to judge spending (ROI lens)13:46 — Iowa per-pupil spending vs. national + Mississippi reading example18:02 — Where districts still have flexibility (pay, staffing, programs)21:16 — Declining enrollment + why the squeeze hits “all at once”22:21 — Budget Guarantee explained + why it's a property-tax issue30:03 — March ballot preview: PEPL, SAVE, Revenue Purpose Statements36:09 — Wrap-up: school finance toolkit + what's next

NYC Tax War, Billionaire Backlash, Trump's Ukraine Failure & The Culture Shift No One Wants to Admit Why does New York City bend over backward to protect billionaires while everyday people struggle to survive? Mayor Zohran Mamdani is threatening a 9.5% property tax increase if Albany blocks a proposed wealth tax. He calls it a “last resort.” But let's be honest — why is it always the middle class paying the bill while the ultra-rich get protected? Meanwhile in Napa Valley, famed French Laundry chef Thomas Keller and other wealthy Yountville business owners are pushing to pause an affordable housing project — citing parking and density concerns. But is it really about traffic… or keeping middle-income families out of Wine Country? And remember when Trump said he'd end the Ukraine war in a day? Russian attacks are up. Civilian deaths are rising. Peace talks are dragging. Another promise collapsing under reality. Plus — why is Wuthering Heights suddenly thriving at the box office? Why is steamy drama dominating streaming? Are cultural tastes shifting — and are women now driving the same kind of on-screen sexual demand long associated with men?

Revisited: Top 3 Takeaways - Florida Property Taxes

Chris Hagenow and John Hendrickson kick off a Presidents' Day episode from the Hendrickson Library with a quick reset on the show's running trivia thread—last week's question on FDR's failed 1937 “court-packing” push—and a new prompt for listeners: who was Abraham Lincoln's political hero? They also trade a few studio-quality-of-life notes (and Chris's ongoing desire for better signage) before moving into the day's agenda.The conversation takes a detour into culture and Americana with news that Robert Duvall has passed away at age 95. John and Chris swap favorite Duvall roles and recommendations, landing on Open Range and Secondhand Lions as must-watches, with a few quick nods to The Godfather, MASH, Days of Thunder, and Gone in 60 Seconds.From there, they pivot into Iowa policy: the annual TIF (tax increment financing) report is out, and they walk through the basic mechanics of TIF—borrowing against projected future property-tax increments—while highlighting why the “free lunch” argument often collapses in practice. The top-line number that grabs attention: roughly $4.7B in TIF-related debt statewide, paired with concerns about permissive rules and the extent to which incentives become direct developer subsidies rather than targeted remediation or infrastructure.Finally, John previews his research on property-tax reform efforts nationwide, arguing Iowa isn't an outlier and that caps/limits are being explored even in places you wouldn't expect (often driven by education-cost pressure). They contrast true reform (reducing the growth of government costs so taxpayers actually pay less) with “shell game” approaches that simply swap one revenue source for another. The episode closes with a broader warning about high-tax states pursuing new levies (including wealth-tax proposals) and why Iowa's competitiveness hinges on resisting the spending trajectory that creates those shortfalls.0:00 Intro + Presidents' Day open1:44 Trivia recap + Lincoln question3:00 Robert Duvall segment5:29 TIF report reset + definition13:43 Property-tax caps spreading nationwide19:21 Why tax swaps fail without spending restraint22:15 “Seat at the table” + taxpayer focus29:28 States raising taxes + why it matters for Iowa32:34 Closing
