‘We're going to be underwater': What Florida's property tax cut means for flooding

Florida voters resoundingly decided to slash their own property taxes on election day, sending shockwaves through the local governments who now have to figure out which services to cut. On the potential chopping block: the millions (and billions) of flooding projects that are sorely needed in soggy South Florida. At the Southeast Florida Climate Compact’s annual summit this week, elected officials from Palm Beach County to the Keys openly worried about what this new mandate means for the projects they’ve been advocating for. On stage, Broward County Commission Steve Geller put it bluntly. “I advise people to move to another state because Florida is going to be a hellhole,” he told the crowd. “We’re going to be underwater.” READ NEXT: Voters said yes to Amendment 3 tax cut. What comes next for Miami-Dade, cities? Florida’s new constitutional amendment, which passed with 62% approval, raised the homestead exemption from property taxes from $50,000 to $250,000 by 2028. It’s a severe blow for local governments that rely on property taxes as the foundation of their budgets.

Amendment 3 may have major impact on businesses in Palm Beach County

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (CBS12) — Voters in Florida spoke loudly about Amendment 3 on Election Day - with 62% voting for it to pass. The homestead exemption for non-school property taxes will increase from $50,000 to $150,000 in 2027, then to $250,000 in 2028. So Amendment 3 gives qualifying homeowners a bigger tax break, but it could also mean less property-tax revenue for cities and counties.
