Florida Governor Ron DeSantis addressed property tax concerns during a press conference held at the Pasco County Sheriff’s Office Training Facility on Monday morning. The event was attended by Tampa Bay 28, which provided live streaming coverage of the proceedings through their website and social media platforms. This announcement follows the governor’s recent decision to convene Florida lawmakers for a special legislative session focused on property tax reform scheduled for June 1st. DeSantis outlined his proposal seeking voter approval of a constitutional amendment that would increase the homestead exemption limit to $150,000 by 2027 and $250,000 by 2028. The governor’s plan includes a requirement for lawmakers to develop a timeline for completely eliminating homestead property taxes in the future. For this proposal to appear on the November ballot, it must receive support from at least 60% of both legislative chambers before requiring voter approval. This developing story will continue to be monitored as additional details emerge from ongoing discussions and legislative developments.
