How Amendment 3 will affect your property taxes and the governments that serve you
Florida voters approved Amendment 3 on November 3, 2026. It raises the homestead exemption on non-school property taxes to the first $150,000 of assessed value in 2027 and the first $250,000 in 2028. That lowers a homeowner’s tax bill and lowers what your city and county collect. This tool shows the impact to all three.

What happens next
Now: tax bills arriving in November 2026 are for 2026 and do not change.
January 1, 2027: the amendment takes effect. The non-school homestead exemption rises to the first $150,000 of assessed value, and the yearly cap on assessment increases for non-homestead property drops from 10% to 5% for non-school taxes.
Summer 2027: the notice of proposed property taxes is the first to show the change. The November 2027 tax bill is the first bill to show it.
January 1, 2028: the exemption rises to the first $250,000, adjusted for inflation from 2029.
New residents: anyone without a permanent Florida residence by December 31, 2026 gets a $50,000 exemption from non-school taxes until their fifth year of the exemption.
Still to come: the amendment requires the Legislature to pass a law setting out how counties and cities can raise the exemption further.
