The Florida Legislature recently advanced a measure that would increase the state's homestead exemption, create a pathway for the full elimination of non-school property taxes on homesteads, and reduce the assessment growth cap on non-homesteaded properties. During this session, panelists will discuss the ballot question (Amendment 3), the threat it poses to crucial local services, and communications and messaging around the importance of property taxes in bolstering communities. This session will also include a discussion on the history of property tax revolts and how the call to eliminate property taxes has evolved.
