Kathleen Passidomo Opposes Property Tax Amendment Despite Prior Support
What happened
Kathleen Passidomo announced she will vote against Amendment 3, a property tax measure. Although she previously voted for the measure in June, she stated her opposition during a recent event in Naples. Amendment 3 would raise the homestead exemption for non-school property taxes to $150,000 in 2027 and $250,000 in 2028, and would limit what counties and cities can spend property tax revenue on.

Why it matters
The amendment, which requires 60% to pass, would impose significant financial changes on local governments. State economists estimate the cost to local governments would be about $5 billion in the first year, rising to nearly $12 billion once fully implemented.
