Media Bias Fact Check (MBFC) publishes daily vetted fact checks from verified IFCN-approved sources. Each claim is independently reviewed for accuracy and context.
Claimant: Ron DeSantis (R)
Claim: In Florida, “68 to 70% of property tax revenue” is from “second homes, investment properties, commercial properties, Airbnb,” not primary residences.
Rating: MOSTLY TRUE
Explanation: State data show about 64% of Florida’s property tax revenue comes from non-homesteaded properties. DeSantis’ estimate slightly overstates but is close. Ending primary residence taxes could cost $18.5 billion in revenue.
