What happened

Well supportedReported by 3 independent outlets

Local officials and public safety groups have raised concerns regarding Amendment 3, a proposed property tax amendment in Florida. The amendment would increase the homestead exemption from approximately $50,000 to $150,000 in 2027 and $250,000 in 2028. However, the increased exemption would only apply to non-school taxes, and the annual cap on assessment increases for non-homestead property would tighten from 10% to 5%.
