Updates on Property Taxes, Upcoming Legislative Session, Homestead Exemption, Property Fraud Alerts

On this episode of Tampa Home Talk , host Katrina Madewell welcomes back fan-favorite guest Jenny Restrepo of Insured Title Agency —and yes…they accidentally showed up twinning in navy while recording during Hanukkah (a fun, unplanned moment you'll hear right away). Then they get into the real stuff that's impacting Florida homeowners right now: Florida's legislative session + Great American REALTOR® Days (Jan 20–22, Tallahassee): what it is, why advocacy matters, and how Realtors help educate lawmakers on real-world impacts to homeownership. Property taxes in Florida: the current push to eliminate property taxes on primary residences, what people are feeling financially, and why "big swings" in policy can create big unintended consequences. Property Fraud Alert: the free tool every Florida property owner should activate to help protect themselves from deed/title fraud—and why title insurance doesn't protect you from fraud that happens after you buy. Foreclosures in Tampa: why the headlines matter, who may be most impacted, and the most important takeaway— if you have equity, all hope is not lost. Don't ignore the mail. Don't wait until it's too late. There may be a path forward that protects your next chapter.
