Tell lawmakers that homeownership matters

Great American Realtor Days (GARD) in Tallahassee is an opportunity for you to rally with thousands of Realtors from across the state who promote legislation that protects private property rights and keeps taxes in check.

  • Cut the Business Rent Tax by $31 million
  • Added $110 million for affordable housing projects
  • Allocated more than $400 million for Florida's natural resources
  • Capped community association fees for estoppel certificates
  • Protected homeowners from excessive flood insurance increases
  • Stopped a sales commission on your sales.
