Tax Estimator – Disclosures and Important Considerations
Tax estimates are based on 2026 Adopted Final Tax Roll values and adopted millage rates (tax rates).
Understanding Your Tax Estimate
Property taxes may change from year to year due to market conditions, changes in millage (tax) rates, property ownership, exemptions eligibility and status, or changes assessed value which decreases the Amendment 10 Save our Homes value. Property values are determined as of January 1 of each tax year.
Ad Valorem Taxes: Property taxes based on taxable value and applicable millage rates.
Non-Ad Valorem Assessments: Charges that are not based on property value, such as solid waste collection, lighting, and special district assessments. Some assessments, particularly for new parcels, may not be reflected in the estimate.

Property Purchases and Homestead Exemption
Property taxes may increase significantly following a sale. The previous owner's Homestead Exemption and Save Our Homes assessment limitation generally do not transfer to the new owner, and the property's assessed value may reset to market value the following tax year.
New owners must apply for Homestead Exemption by March 1 and meet all eligibility requirements. Click here to apply online for Homestead Exemption and Additional Tax Benefits.

Proposed Amendment 3 – November 3, 2026 Election
Official Ballot Title: Increased Homestead Exemption; Lower Cap on Increases in Non-Homestead Property Assessments
View Official Amendment 3 Ballot Language – Florida Department of State
Amendment 3 is Proposed: Amendment 3 is a proposed constitutional amendment requiring approval by at least 60% of Florida voters. If approved, it would take effect January 1, 2027.
The 2027 and 2028 Amendment 3 estimates are hypothetical projections based on 2026 Final Certified Tax Roll values and adopted millage rates. Actual savings may vary due to future property values, tax rates, exemption eligibility, and applicable law.
The Tax Estimator assumes eligibility for the proposed increased homestead exemption. It does not verify when a property owner established Florida residency or whether the owner meets all exemption requirements. Taxpayers who do not qualify for the increased exemption may owe more taxes than projected.
Non-ad valorem assessments are not reduced by the proposed amendment. The estimator does not calculate every provision of Amendment 3.
What Amendment 3 Would Change
- 2027: Increase the homestead exemption to $150,000 for qualifying homeowners on non-school property taxes.
- 2028: Increase the exemption to $250,000 for qualifying homeowners on non-school property taxes, with inflation adjustments beginning in 2029.
- School Taxes: The increased exemption would not apply to school district property taxes.
- Non-Homestead Properties: Reduce the annual assessment increase limitation from 10% to 5%.
- New Florida Residents: Homeowners who established permanent Florida residency by December 31, 2026, may qualify for the increased exemption even if they purchase a home later. Individuals who establish Florida residency on or after January 1, 2027, would generally receive the existing exemption initially and become eligible for the increased exemption beginning in their fifth year of homestead exemption. All eligibility requirements remain applicable.
- Additional Provisions: Establish procedures for potential additional homestead exemptions and restrictions on certain county and municipal property tax expenditures.
