Big News for Florida Homeowners

Governor Ron DeSantis recently backed a constitutional amendment that the Florida Legislature officially passed on June 2, 2026 — and it could dramatically change what Florida homeowners pay in property taxes.

The amendment, titled "Save Our Homes from Excessive Property Taxes," will appear on the November 3, 2026 ballot. It needs 60% voter approval to become law.

Here is how it works if passed: The homestead exemption would increase from the current $50,000 to $150,000 on January 1, 2027, and then rise again to $250,000 on January 1, 2028, with inflation adjustments going forward. The amendment also creates a framework requiring the Legislature to develop a schedule for the full elimination of homestead property taxes over time. According to Governor DeSantis, as many as 92% of Florida homeowners who own and live in their homes could ultimately see their property tax bill reduced to zero.

A couple of important details worth knowing: This relief applies to non-school property taxes only — school board levies are not included. And for anyone who becomes a Florida resident after January 1, 2027, there is a five-year residency requirement before qualifying for the full enhanced exemption.

For buyers who have been sitting on the fence, this is another reminder that owning a home comes with advantages renters simply do not have access to. Between Florida's existing homestead protections, portability benefits, and now the possibility of the largest property tax cut in state history, homeownership continues to be one of the most powerful wealth-building tools available.
