Florida has elected a Republican governor and Legislature in every election since 1998.

Twenty-eight consecutive years of unified control.

🧵 A 28-year audit of what it bought:

@America1stFL Eight Florida counties will lose more than half of their non-school property tax revenues by 2032. It is impossible to not see a reduction of access across the board in these counties.

Against 2025 non-school levies it is 32.6% statewide, 22.9% in Miami-Dade, and more than 50% in eight counties: Wakulla, Holmes, Bradford, Sumter, Lake, Pasco, Flagler, Hernando by 2032.

@Cointuckeywind1 Can you share the data?

@RepRyanC @EndPropTaxNow Amendment 3 does a lot more than that.

Amendment 3 is on the November 3 ballot and needs 60% to pass. The Legislature put it there, not a citizen petition.

The maximum non-school exemption would rise from $51,411 today to $250,000 by 2028, against $52,805 under current law. Worth up to $2,075 a year.

@SWFL5440 This is false. It does not cap rental property increase. It increases the growth rate and which rental properties can be assessed for tax purposes. The only impact on renters is reduced social services.

The takeaway: Amendment 3 cuts homestead taxes, halves the non-homestead cap, gives renters nothing. Its saving stops stepping up in 2028, its $11.83B a year cost does not.

For rental and commercial property, the yearly cap on assessment increases would fall from 10% to 5%.

That limits how fast a parcel's taxable value can rise in a boom. It does not cap rents, and it does not cap the tax rate a county or city sets.

This is on the ballot because the Legislature put it there, 75-26 in the House and 30-9 in the Senate on June 2. No signatures were gathered.

Senate Republicans voted 26-0 for it. Senate Democrats voted 3-9.

The amendment also writes into the constitution what county and city property taxes may pay for: seven permitted uses.

School district and special district levies are not on that list.

[Florida Audit @FloridaAudit]

Florida's 2.92 million renter households, 32% of the state, get no homestead exemption.

62.1% already spend 30% or more of income on rent, the highest share of any state. If local governments raise millage to replace the lost revenue, it applies to rental property in full.

The Senate shifted earlier: a 20-20 tie after 1992, 21-19 after 1994, and locked ever since. As elected in 2024 it sits at 28-12.
