What happened

Well supportedReported by 4 independent outlets

A proposed statewide property tax amendment in Florida, known as Amendment 3, would eliminate property taxes on homesteaded properties and require local governments to use property taxes only for core public services. An analysis found that if voters approve Amendment 3, public hospital districts in Central Florida could lose an estimated $323 million in property-tax revenue over three years.
