BIG NEWS FOR ANYONE THINKING ABOUT MOVING TO FLORIDA! BEST TO DO IT BEFORE JANUARY 1, 2027!!
If you've been waiting for the right time to make Florida your permanent home, news from Tallahassee may be the sign you've been looking for.
Florida's Legislature has passed a proposed constitutional amendment that would increase the Homestead Exemption from $50,000 to:
🏡 $150,000 in 2027
🏡 $250,000 in 2028
For many Florida homeowners, this could mean dramatically lower property taxes and in some cases, potentially eliminating county property taxes altogether (school taxes would still apply).
But here's the part that should get your attention...
⏰ If you establish Florida residency BEFORE JANUARY 1, 2027, you could qualify for the FULL enhanced exemption immediately.
⏰ If you wait until AFTER January 1, 2027, new residents may have to establish up to FIVE YEARS of residency before receiving the full benefit. ($50,000 per year)
That means the window to maximize these potential tax savings is open NOW.
Additional benefits include:
✅ School taxes remain separate
✅ Non-homestead assessment cap reduced from 10% to 5%
✅ Great news for investors and second-home owners
✅ Still subject to voter approval on November 3rd with a 60% majority
Whether you're tired of high taxes up north, you're a seasonal resident ready to make Florida your official home, or you're simply looking for a better lifestyle, this could be one of the most significant homeowner tax advantages we've seen in years.
Florida continues to reward those who call it home. 🌴☀️
