Gov. Ron DeSantis' proposed property tax plan aims to phase out property taxes on primary residences. It needs legislative approval and voter backing to take effect. Fact-checkers and analysts have reviewed these central claims and projections regarding the plan:

• Claim: The initial $250,000 exemption eliminates property tax for 60% of Florida homeowners.

• Fact Check: Needs Context. While DeSantis states this covers 60% of homeowners, state data from the Office of Economic and Demographic Research shows only about 28% of homestead properties have a market value of $250,000 or less. The 60% figure likely assumes homeowners also take advantage of existing state-level property tax programs and exemptions.

• Claim: Raising the threshold to $500,000 means 92% of homes would be tax-free.

• Fact Check: Needs Context. State records indicate that about 76% of homesteaded primary residences are valued at $500,000 or less, making the 92% claim an overestimate.

• Claim: Primary residences account for a small fraction of property tax revenue compared to businesses and second homes.

• Fact Check: Mostly True. DeSantis claimed 68-70% of property tax revenue comes from commercial properties, second homes, and vacation rentals. State data confirms this is highly accurate, as non-primary residences contribute roughly 64% of total property tax revenue.

• Claim: The plan immediately eliminates property taxes for everyone.

• Fact Check: False. The proposal is a phased rollout. It calls for raising the exemption to $150,000 in 2027 and $250,000 in 2028, with the state legislature tasked with figuring out a schedule to reach $500,000 and complete elimination in future years. [2]

• Claim: The legislation exactly mirrors DeSantis' public statements.

• Fact Check: Mostly False. Senate legislation (SJR 2F) filed to facilitate this proposal outlines a cap on assessed value increases for non-homestead properties, but it does not include the explicit language establishing the $500,000 phase-out timeline that DeSantis announced in his press conferences. [3]

Potential Impacts Identified by Analysts:

• Local Government Funding: Eliminating taxes on homesteads would mean a massive revenue drop for cities, counties, and special taxing districts. Local entities warn this could require them to raise sales taxes, hike millage rates on non-homestead properties (like rental units and businesses), or slash funding for services like police and fire departments.
• Impact on Renters: Renters make up a large portion of Florida residents. Because they do not own a homesteaded primary residence, they would not directly benefit from this property tax relief and may see higher housing costs if landlords pass along increased commercial/non-homestead tax burdens.
