League of Women Voters Opposes Florida Property Tax Amendment 3
What happened
The League of Women Voters stated its strong opposition to Property Tax Amendment 3 in Florida. The amendment proposes increasing homestead exemptions, which could allow homeowners to see annual property tax decreases of $1,000 to $3,000. It also lowers the annual cap increase on non-homesteaded property from 10% to 5%.

Why it matters
The League argues the amendment is a tax shift, not a tax cut, because it strips local government of essential revenue and transfers control to state government. These taxes are described as the primary funding source for core local services.
