Instead of a cut in sales taxes as proposed by the House, DeSantis says he wants to provide a $1,000 tax break to all homestead property owners.

DeSantis on Monday said state and local governments can maintain their "core functions" by offloading the tax burden on non-Floridians.

The governor described the proposal as an opening salvo and expressed his desire to see more property tax relief through a constitutional amendment on next year's ballot.
