Repeal Florida’s Business Rent Tax permanently
“We will phase out the business rent tax — small businesses must breathe, not choke.”
In the works Promise Date: 03 Feb 2025 Promise Deadline: Indefinite
Promise Details

DeSantis pledged to eliminate the Business Rent Tax in Florida, which taxes businesses on rent payments, arguing it is unfair to small businesses. In his 2025 budget proposals, he includes repeal of the Business Rent Tax to provide tax relief to businesses. The repeal is part of his fiscal-responsibility agenda. If enacted fully, it would relieve many small and medium firms from a costly tax burden.

Current status

As of November 8, 2025: full repeal is included in the 2025–26 budget plan and backed by leadership, with prior rate cuts already in place; however, final legislative passage and implementation are still pending.
