Disney World is suing over its property taxes, arguing they are ‘excessive’

Last month, Disney reminded the public it paid $3.1 billion in state and local taxes, according to a company-commissioned economic impact study highlighting how valuable the Mouse is to Florida.

This month, Disney is suing over its local property taxes and calling them “excessive.”

Walt Disney Parks and Resorts filed about a dozen lawsuits this week against the Property Appraiser as it contests the 2023 tax assessments for its four theme parks, several hotels and other properties in Central Florida. Disney wants the tax bills canceled and to get new, lower bills and be reimbursed for legal fees.

Disney, which did not immediately respond to a request for comment, has been regularly suing over its tax bills since 2015.
