🌴 FLORIDA TRIVIA TIME! 🌴
September may be winding down, but in Florida, “fall” looks a little different! ☀️

Did you know?
🌊 Gulf water can still be very warm in September — perfect for boating, fishing and beach days.
🐢 Sea turtle nesting season is still underway on many Florida beaches through October.
🌅 As we move into fall, Florida begins seeing earlier sunsets and, eventually, a welcome drop in humidity.
🎃 And while the rest of the country is pulling out sweaters and boots, many Floridians are still wearing flip-flops and running the A/C!
QUESTION: What is your favorite thing about fall in Florida — cooler evenings, fewer afternoon storms, boating, fishing, outdoor dining or something else?

Real Estate News Brief: What Amendment 3 Means for Homeowners

Amendment 3 would increase the homestead exemption for non-school property taxes, which could help lower property tax bills for homeowners.

Here’s the simple breakdown:

The exemption would increase to $150,000 in 2027 and $250,000 in 2028, with inflation adjustments starting in 2029.

This means more of a homeowner’s property value would be protected from certain taxes, potentially putting more money back in their pocket.

Important note: This does not reduce school funding. The added exemption applies only to non-school property taxes and still prioritizes important services like police and fire protection.

For homeowners, this could be a major step toward making homeownership more affordable.
