DeSantis Backs Amendment 3 To Eliminate Property Taxes

Gov. Ron DeSantis is urging a yes vote on Amendment 3, noting that local property-tax revenues have nearly doubled in seven years—well beyond population and inflation growth—while the state has cut its budget four years in a row. The amendment creates a path to fully eliminate property taxes for homesteaded Floridians and more. Critics argue perpetual property taxes make government a lifelong landlord, so homeowners never truly own their homes.
