What happened

Well supportedReported by 17 independent outlets

Ron DeSantis spearheaded a property tax reform plan in Florida, which includes Amendment 3, a major property tax cut on the November ballot. While Florida Realtors supports the measure, the Florida State Fraternal Order of Police opposes it, citing concerns over public safety funding. The Florida Legislature tweaked the proposal, exempting the portion of the property tax bill that funds K-12 schools from the large homestead exemption increase.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The proposed tax cuts could significantly reduce local government revenue, which relies heavily on property taxes. Polls indicate that while voters support the tax rollback if core services are maintained, support drops when told the measure would create an $11.8 billion shortfall over two years for cities and counties.
