Florida Voters Get Tax Amendment Do-Over | Gainesville News

Florida voters get a second chance to weigh in on Amendment Three after a judge slammed its original wording as misleading and politically charged. The Attorney General rewrote the ballot language to be more precise — now clearly spelling out that the homestead exemption jumps to $150K in 2027, then $250K in 2028, with inflation adjustments. Fluff about “taxpayers,” “core services,” and “small businesses” is gone, replaced with specifics: non-homestead property assessment caps drop from 10% to 5% annually, and new residents get the standard exemption first, with the higher cap only after five years of residency — if constitutional limits allow. Critics still call it a “scam” and “tax shift” that could hurt public services, and they’re pushing their message until Election Day on November 3rd — no new lawsuits planned.
