What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

County Administrator Steve Howard advised caution regarding growth in Citrus County. This caution relates to a proposed constitutional Amendment 3, which has not yet passed but could significantly alter the county's tax structure if approved by at least 60 percent of voters in November. If passed, the amendment would increase the homestead exemption for non-school property taxes and reduce the cap on annual assessment increases for non-homestead property.
