Supporting Small Businesses in House District 49

As your state representative, Carlos has voted repeatedly to reduce Florida's business rent tax. These reductions have saved our state's small businesses more than $90 million between 2018-2019, giving them more resources to expand their business and hire new employees.

Florida is the only state that continues to charge a commercial business rent tax. Small and minority owned businesses are disproportionally impacted, which is why Rep. Smith has advocated to reduce or eliminate this tax burden over the next several years.
