CPR Research
Strong fact-based, intellectual argument is an important tool for those seeking to counter government's argument in favor of increased regulation. Property owners and activists engaging in the active defense of their rights need to prepare for these fights by loading up with intellectual ammunition. CPR is pleased to provide a number of topical research references for property owners to use, including summaries and links to surveys, studies and talking points for public hearings. We hope this information is valuable to land owners with a personal interest in expanding their own base of knowledge regarding the importance of property rights and will also be helpful to individual owners preparing for public testimony or policy debates.

Property Taxation The Florida Legislature is in the process of reforming Florida's property tax system and Governor Charlie Crist made property tax relief a priority item in his gubernatorial campaign. The Florida Chamber of Commerce has produced an excellent side-by-side comparison of the issues under discussion during the October 2007 special session. http://www.flchamber.com/docs/Coalitions/PropertyTax_SidebySide_101607.pdf Two additional publications for review include: "Florida's Fiscal Constitution: Opportunities for Reform." written by Dr. Randall G.
