AMENDMENT 3 UPDATE
Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier has submitted rewritten ballot language for Amendment 3 following a Leon County court order.
The proposal itself has not changed — the update is to the ballot title and summary voters will see in November.
PREVIOUS TITLE:
“Save Our Homes From Excessive Property Taxes”
NEW TITLE:
“Increased Homestead Exemption; Lower Cap on Increases in Non-Homesteaded Property Assessments”
REWRITTEN BALLOT SUMMARY:
“This amendment increases the homestead exemption, for all non-school taxes, to $150,000 in 2027 and $250,000 in 2028, and adjusts for inflation thereafter. It requires the Legislature to prescribe a uniform procedure for counties and municipalities, for their respective levies, to increase the homestead exemption up to full assessed value, and allows special districts, subject to referendum approval, to do the same.”
Amendment 3 will go before Florida voters in November and requires 60% voter approval to pass.
The Collier County Property Appraiser's Office does not endorse, oppose, or advocate for any proposed constitutional amendment. We are committed to providing factual, nonpartisan information to help keep the public informed.
