OPINION: Over a Million Florida Homes Have No Insurance — The Property Tax Cut Could Change That

Florida just handed homeowners a real win. Amendment 3 passed on November 3 with 62% of the vote, expanding the homestead exemption from $50,000 to $150,000 in 2027 and $250,000 in 2028. For the average Broward County homeowner, that’s roughly $1,300 back in their pocket next year. By 2028, estimates run between $2,300 and $2,700 depending on where you live. — Broward County Property Appraiser Marty Kiar (NBC Miami, 2026); Craig Kincheloe (Bay News 9, 2026)

Báez-Geller defeats Basabe in Florida House race, returns to public office

Democrat Lucia Báez-Geller defeated incumbent Republican Fabián Basabe for Florida House District 106, returning to elected office after serving on the Miami-Dade County School Board. Báez-Geller taught at Miami Beach Senior High School for 15 years before entering elected public service. “I am honored that our community has once again trusted me to serve, and I am so grateful to my family, friends, volunteers, and supporters,” Báez-Geller said in a statement. “As a mother and an educator, I know how much families are counting on us. I’m proud to return to public service and continue the work that brought me into the classroom and onto the School Board.” Basabe had numerous confrontations outside a Miami Beach polling location during early voting, squaring off with campaign volunteers, a police officer and even the Miami-Dade mayor, records and videos show. Florida House District 106 covers coastal communities in northeastern Miami-Dade County, including Miami Beach, Surfside, Sunny Isles Beach and Aventura.
