Factcheck:
The Florida House of Representatives did vote 80–30 along party lines to approve a joint resolution (HJR 203) to put a constitutional amendment on the November 2026 ballot that could eliminate non-school property taxes on homesteaded homes beginning in 2027, if voters approve it.
But important context that matters:
-
It doesn’t automatically abolish all non-school property taxes today — it only proposes letting voters decide.
-
Similar proposals are not guaranteed to reach the ballot unless the Florida Senate also approves them with a super-majority. The Senate has not yet passed its own version.
-
Some versions of the plan phase the exemption out over time (e.g., gradually through 2037) rather than immediate elimination.
