2026 is a landmark year for Florida property tax reform, and landlords are caught in the crosshairs. Legislative proposals like HJR 201 are gaining steam, aiming to eliminate non-school property taxes specifically for homesteaded primary residences. While this is great news for homeowners, it creates a “Tax Trap” for landlords. As local governments in Orlando and Seminole County look to replace lost revenue to fund fire, police, and road repairs, the tax burden is expected to shift significantly onto non-homesteaded properties—like your rental.
Being a landlord in Orlando is more expensive than ever. Between the 2026 insurance hikes and the rising costs of maintenance, many small-scale investors are seeing their “passive income” disappear. If the 2026 tax amendments pass, the cost of owning a rental property in neighborhoods like College Park or SoDo could jump by thousands of dollars a year, further eroding your margins and potentially making the property a monthly liability.
If you’re feeling the “squeeze,” We Buy Houses Fast In Orlando can help. We specialize in helping tired landlords exit the market quickly and profitably. We buy rental properties with tenants in place, meaning you don’t have to go through the stress of an eviction or a “cash for keys” negotiation just to get the house ready for the market. We take over the lease and the property exactly as it stands.
Don’t wait for the November 2026 election to see how the tax shifts will affect your bottom line. Selling now allows you to capture your equity while the market is still strong and before new tax burdens are fully implemented. We provide a fair cash offer and a fast closing, giving you the liquid capital you need to pivot into a more tax-efficient investment for the new year.
