Palm Beach County on track to break $30 million-plus home sales record

One of the latest big-ticket home sales in Palm Beach County is a $35 million dollar mansion in Jupiter's Admiral Cove . The home in the exclusive gated community along the Intracoastal Waterway reportedly has a 22-car garage, unusual perhaps, but its upper 10-figure sales price isn't exactly a rarity this year across Palm Beach County. According to a report issued by the South Florida Realtors association , Palm Beach County is on track to shatter its record for $30 million-plus home sales. As of September 2026, the county had already recorded 21 sales in that price range — a number that ties the existing record for a year. The pace this year, with two months left, has the county on track for 28 sales of $30 million-plus mansions to be recorded by the end of December. The dollar numbers are staggering but not surprising. A migration of high-end people, and their wealth, to Palm Beach County in the past decade, and especially since the COVID pandemic, has injected billions of dollars more worth of reality to the "Wall Street South" brand. Hedge funds and corporate offices have filled office towers, while a slew of other enterprises, including healthcare providers,

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.

PALM BEACH COUNTY, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) (Copyright © 2026 MetroDesk Media, LLC) — A major car dealer and auto group will pay more than $100,000 to settle an EEOC complaint. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission issued this statement to BocaNewsNow.com regarding Schumacher Auto Group: >>Schumacher Auto Group, Inc., a Palm Beach County car dealership company, will pay $112,500 and implement significant policy and training reforms to settle a disability discrimination lawsuit filed by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the federal agency announced today.

‘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. Broward County could lose $333 million of its budget by 2028, according to an estimate from flood consultant firm Brizaga. Miami-Dade estimates it would lose $700
