On Thursday, the Florida State House voted for a constitutional amendment to abolish all non-school property taxes for Florida homeowners. The bill will now move to the Senate and, if passed, will be placed on the ballot for voters in 2026.
CS/CS/HJR 203, sponsored by State Rep. Monique Miller (R-Palm Bay, District 33), reads:
Joint Resolution by Ways & Means Committee and State Affairs Committee and Miller (CO-SPONSORS) Barnaby.
Elimination of Non-school Property for Homesteads: Proposes amendment to State Constitution to make homestead property exempt from all ad valorem taxation other than school district levies beginning in a specified year, to prohibit local governments from reducing total funding for services provided by law enforcement, firefighters, and other first responders, and provide an effective date.
