Florida approves sweeping property-tax breaks — but New Yorkers planning a move face a catch

Florida voters have approved sweeping property-tax breaks that could save homeowners thousands of dollars a year — but out-of-staters looking to cash in on the Sunshine State’s latest perk face a five-year catch. Amendment 3 passed during the Tuesday midterms with roughly 62% of the vote, clearing the 60% threshold required to change Florida’s Constitution and paving the way for a major expansion of the state’s homestead exemption. Beginning in 2027, Florida homeowners who qualify for the state’s homestead exemption will be able to shield the first $150,000 of their home’s assessed value from most local property taxes, up from $50,000 today. That tax-free portion will rise to $250,000 in 2028 and increase with inflation beginning in 2029. Florida voters approved sweeping property-tax relief for homeowners. Bloomberg via Getty Images Foe example, a homeowner whose property is assessed at $400,000 would generally pay applicable non-school property taxes on just $150,000 of that value in 2028, rather than $350,000 under the current exemption. The savings could be substantial. A previous Realtor.com analysis estimated that the median Florida homeowner could save roughly $1,800 annually by 2028, although the actual amount will depend on local tax rates and the home’s assessed value.
