Florida Property Taxes Are Stolen – We’re Paying for Disney’s Debt
Whistleblowers are already sounding the alarm in Florida

It didn’t take long for word to start getting out about the real problems Florida is having with our counties covering up for stolen property taxes. So far, more and more people are agreeing that is most likely the motive behind the rigged elections. The state & locals are now in cover-up mode.
Grant Warrington was bringing attention to the county commissioner battle going on in Hillsborough County. Here is the video:
Well, he found out that Hillsborough county has NOT HAD A FULL FORENSIC AUDIT IN 40 YEARS!
Worse yet, when Wostal ask DeSantis’s new Florida DOGE in a letter dated March 4, 2025 to audit his county, the rest of the county commissioners, that included both Democrats & Republicans VOTED IT DOWN.
Think Hillsborough County Commissioners have something to hide? But I’m really curious as to why DeSantis announced a FL DOGE audit of ONLY Bay County and never mentioned this very suspicious situation in Hillsborough County in his March 18th post to X:
Florida tax payers have been hit by local property taxes as many local governments have increased their budgets significantly.
Today, I am calling on all Florida counties and municipalities to voluntarily work with our Florida DOGE team to review local spending and financial… pic.twitter.com/B18TZVOeiZ

Wostal already uncovered schemes where Hillsborough commissioners would simply vote for payments to NGOs (Non-Governmental Organizations) that either they directly owned or were connected to… Basically, they voted in front of the entire county board to funnel tax payer money directly into their own pockets.
While this was going on for decades, the Hillsborough Sheriff and the state never bothered to look into it. It’s the County Sheriffs and state’s responsibility to watch the counties and make sure they are following the laws. How is it that companies must be subjected to multiple layers of audits, but not a single forensic audit was done in that large county in 40 years? Do you have the ability to vote on not complying with an IRS Audit?
If local county commissioners watch each other steal millions of tax payer’s fund without any hesitation, all while local and state law enforcement ignored totally it, do you REALLY think rigging elections is a line they just won’t cross?
However, as I mentioned in my previous post, this whole game is about to come to an abrupt halt.
For the first time since I have lived in Florida, more people are LEAVING FLORIDA than moving in. This while county planning boards approved enough new developments to accommodate half of America moving here. But we’re not the only state with issues. Populations are GOING DOWN in Florida, Texas and Arizona.
Maybe they were banking on all those illegal aliens staying? ¯\(ツ)/¯
Reventure Consulting has a concise update in this video:
The FL counties that he mentions in the video: Broward, Hillsborough, Miami-Dade, Palm Beach, and Orange all share one shocking commonality.
THEY ARE THE MOST LEVERAGED COUNTIES, WITH THE MOST OUTSTANDING DEBT IN BONDS.
I asked Grok for a breakdown:
- Orange County: Home to Orlando and Walt Disney World, Orange County is a likely candidate for high bond debt. The Reedy Creek Improvement District (now the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District), which encompasses Disney World, historically issued around $1 billion in bonds for infrastructure like utilities and roads. When the district’s special status was dissolved in 2023, the state took over this debt rather than passing it directly to Orange and Osceola counties. Even so, Orange County itself issues bonds for schools, transportation, and tourism-driven projects, given its population of over 1.4 million and economic activity.
- Miami-Dade County: As Florida’s most populous county (over 2.7 million residents), Miami-Dade likely has substantial bond debt. It issues bonds for major projects like the Miami International Airport, seaport improvements, water and sewer systems, and public transit. Historically, it has carried billions in outstanding debt, with reports from the early 2000s showing over $2 billion in general obligation and revenue bonds, a figure that has likely grown with urban expansion and infrastructure demands.
- Palm Beach County: Known for its affluent communities and rapid growth, Palm Beach County maintains a strong financial position with an AAA bond rating, but it still issues significant bonds. As of recent years, its debt portfolio included hundreds of millions for schools, public safety, and environmental projects. The county’s ability to manage debt effectively suggests a high but sustainable level, likely in the range of $1-2 billion outstanding.
- Broward County: With nearly 2 million residents and proximity to Miami, Broward County issues bonds for schools, transportation (e.g., Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport), and coastal infrastructure. Its debt is likely comparable to Miami-Dade’s, potentially exceeding $1 billion, given similar urban pressures.
- Hillsborough County: Including Tampa, this county supports a major metropolitan area and port, driving bond issuance for roads, schools, and utilities. Its debt is significant, though likely less than Miami-Dade or Orange due to a smaller population (around 1.5 million).
Remember that story about “DeSantis Punishing Disney” for being woke?
Did you catch the point above? Here it is again for emphasis:
When the [Disney’s] district’s special status was dissolved in 2023, the state took over this debt rather than passing it directly to Orange and Osceola counties.
Do you remember voting to take over Disney’s BILLION DOLLAR DEBT and take care of its roads and infrastructure?
WOW! DeSantis “PUNISHING WOKE DISNEY” made their revenues go up nearly 40% since 2020. (FY 2020: $65.388 billion to FY 2024: $91.361 billion)
You thought Disney was loosing money with those empty parks during COVID and all those horrible woke movies. In reality, they made a cumulative 69 billion on top of what they use to earn annually back in 2020.
If you put Disney’s debt together with those 5 counties, you can conservatively estimate that to be over 6 BILLION IN BOND DEBT. And the state and county officials fully expected to pass that burden on to you and your children since they used your property taxes as collateral on those bonds.
