DESANTIS: "Had Amendment 3 not been on the ballot, I don't know that we'd turn out the voters that we turned out...many of them voted Republican."
This is HISTORY! โ๏ธ
This coming year, the value of a home 100% EXEMPT from property taxes goes to $150,000, then $250,000, then the legislature is directed to have a plan in place to phase it out entirely
MANY people with homes $250K and under will no longer pay ANY primary property tax rent to the government, and residents in the $300K-500K range see MAJOR tax cuts

It passed, but the post overstates what it does. Florida voters approved Amendment 3 on November 3, 2026, with 62% of the vote; it needed 60% (reported by CBS12 and News4JAX).
What the text does, per the ballot summary quoted by Orange County and Newsweek: it raises the homestead exemption for non-school property taxes from about $50,000 to $150,000 in 2027 and $250,000 in 2028, then adjusts for inflation. It also cuts the non-homestead assessment cap from 10% to 5%. It directs the Legislature to set a schedule for eliminating non-school homestead taxes, but that is a directive for later, not a repeal.
The post's claim that homes under $250K will pay no primary property tax is not what the measure does. School district taxes are not affected, and Florida TaxWatch estimates non-school taxes are about 60% of a typical bill. Local governments don't expect a major revenue drop until fall 2027, and a larger one in 2028.
Supporters, including Gov. DeSantis, call it relief for homeowners. Critics warn of lost funding for local services. Both claims rest on the same county revenue estimates, such as Orange County's projected $275 million reduction by 2028.
