It’s called “Save Our Homes from Excessive Property Taxes.”
What it does: cuts the single largest source of funding for local services, with no plan to replace it.
Counties are still required to deliver the same services. The revenue disappears. The need doesn’t.

When local budgets get cut, deputies don’t get hired. Ambulances age out. Response times slow.
The property tax amendment cuts $5 billion from local budgets in two years, with nothing to replace it.

A tax cut? Look closer.
The amendment doesn’t reduce what Florida communities spend on deputies, firefighters, and paramedics. It reduces where that money comes from.
When the homestead exemption expands, the funding gap has to close somewhere else. Higher commercial property taxes. Higher fees. Higher sales tax.
The bill doesn’t go away. It just gets addressed to someone else.

Everyone pays for the property tax amendment.
Renters don’t get an exemption, they get a higher rent bill. Small businesses don’t get a break. They get a bigger bill.
Even homeowners who qualify for the exemption will see the savings eaten up by higher fees, higher sales taxes, and higher prices at the register.

The property tax amendment leaves nearly half of Florida’s counties unable to fund basic services on their own.
When that many communities can’t cover the gap, they go to Tallahassee, where state lawmakers decide what your community gets for public safety.
Deputies, ambulances, fire stations. Funded on someone else’s terms.

Rationing. That’s what happens when revenue disappears but the need doesn’t. Fewer deputies, older ambulances, slower response times.
The property tax amendment cuts billions from local budgets with nothing to replace it. In smaller communities with no commercial base to absorb the gap, there’s no cushion. What gets cut, stays cut.

[County Name]’s strength isn’t just low taxes—it’s the quality of life our community offers.
From safe neighborhoods and clean water to parks, infrastructure, and everyday services, the things that make [County Name] livable don’t fund themselves.
One-size-fits-all tax plans put that at risk—especially for full-time residents. Local decision-making isn’t just smart policy—it’s how we protect Florida’s unique quality of life.

Politicians promise to eliminate ALL homesteaded property taxes – without cutting cops, firefighters, or public safety. Sounds like magic, right? That’s because it is.
The reality: 40% of all property tax revenue comes from homesteaded properties. The rest goes to public safety. So how do Tallahassee politicians plan to fund roads, clean water, or trash collection?
The toilet doesn’t flush on a magic trick.

Are you ready to pay 15% sales tax on groceries, clothes, and everyday essentials?
That’s the shocking reality of what it would take to eliminate Florida’s homesteaded property taxes.
To recover the billions lost, the Conservative Tax Foundation estimates the average statewide sales tax rate would need to double to 15.34%.
This isn’t tax relief—it’s shifting the burden onto every purchase you make.
Tell policymakers: follow the math, not the magic.
