Informational Campaign Underway Against Property Tax Amendment 3 in Florida
What happened
A campaign is underway explaining the implications of Amendment 3, which was placed on the November 3rd ballot by the Legislature. The amendment would raise the homestead exemption on non-school property taxes from the current $50,000 to $150,000 in 2027, with further increases to $250,000 in 2028, subject to inflation adjustments. This informational campaign is being conducted through mailers, budget workshops, and town halls in various localities.

Why it matters
The campaign focuses on the fact that while Florida law allows local governments to inform residents about the costs of a ballot question, it bars them from using public money to campaign for or against it. The informational materials are being distributed in mailboxes across the state.
