Florida Voters Decide Property Tax Future | Orlando News

Florida voters will decide this November on a major property tax overhaul — a ballot amendment that, while watered down from Governor DeSantis’s original dream of full elimination, still promises the biggest tax cut in state history. The final version, HJR 1F, phases in steep exemptions starting in 2027, caps non-homestead assessments at 5%, and restricts how local governments can spend ad valorem revenue. Critics warn it could hurt essential services, while supporters hail it as constitutional protection for homeowners — and DeSantis insists he’s not responsible for the compromises. If approved by 60% or more, it takes effect January 1, 2027, reshaping Florida’s tax landscape forever. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
