Lower Property Taxes

Lower Property Taxes

Lower Property Taxes

Royal Palm Beach has always been a beacon for homeowners and renters alike seeking a quality of life unmatched in Palm Beach County. It is with this spirit of community and stewardship in mind that Steve proposes a forward-looking approach to property taxation.

Steve’s proposal for lower property taxes is rooted in a practical and equitable formula-based approach, taking into consideration the dynamics of property value appreciation rates and inflation rates. The essence of his argument is simple: with the current surplus in government funds, the Village has a unique opportunity to ease the financial burden on homeowners without compromising on our commitments to the community’s welfare and developmental projects.

The ripple effects of adjusting property taxes extend beyond homeowners to the broader community, including renters who indirectly contribute through their rents. Lower property taxes can alleviate the upward pressure on rental prices, making living in Royal Palm Beach more affordable for everyone. This measure can contribute to a more stable and vibrant community, where residents can thrive without the looming stress of escalating living costs.

In advocating for lower property taxes, Steve underscores his commitment to fiscal prudence and responsible governance. This is not merely about reducing taxes; it’s about recognizing an opportunity to give back to the community in a way that supports sustainable growth and enhances the well-being of every resident of Royal Palm Beach.

ISSUES

Steve is committed to challenging the status quo of uncontested elections and the absence of term limits, bringing new perspectives to the Village Council and modernizing Royal Palm Beach’s governance with his energy, cultural competency, and established relationships.
