Have you found yourself wondering how the upcoming November vote on Amendment 3 is going to shift your property taxes heading into 2027? 🤔
If you're already living here in Florida, looking to relocate to our coastal paradise, or currently renting and thinking about your path to homeownership, understanding the timeline changes everything.
Here is what's on the line:
The Exemption Step-Up: If approved by at least 60% of voters, the non-school homestead exemption jumps to $150,000 on January 1, 2027, and scales up to $250,000 by January 1, 2028.
The Critical Deadline: To lock in these enhanced benefits immediately when they take effect, establishing Florida primary residency by December 31, 2026 is non-negotiable. New arrivals after that date face a multi-year waiting period.
Non-Homestead & Protections: Caps on annual assessment increases for non-homestead assets drop from 10% down to 5%, while core Save Our Homes protections remain completely untouched.
Most buyers don’t realize how fast the end-of-year residency cutoff approaches until it's too late to position themselves for maximum savings.
How would having an extra $250,000 in non-school tax exemption change your plans for next year?
