Bill increases homestead property tax exemption to $150,000 in 2027
Florida State Capitol (WJXT, WJXT)
The Florida House and Senate passed a tweaked version of a major proposal to cut local property taxes on Wednesday.
Now the amendment goes before the voters on the November ballot. It will need to pass with 60% approval from voters to be added to the Florida Constitution.
The bill increases the current $50,000 exemption on homestead property taxes to $150,000 for 2027, and to $250,000 in 2028. The exemption will not apply to school district taxes.
The bill, HJR 1F, passed the Florida House with a 75-26 vote and in the Florida Senate with a vote of 30-9.
