- DeSantis touts property tax amendment, but still laments what it could have been
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed two bills related to a proposed constitutional amendment to expand the state’s homestead property tax exemption, aiming to address affordability concerns. Critics argue the amendment would reduce local government revenues, while DeSantis emphasized its benefits for middle-class residents. The bills include measures to adjust millage rate formulas and increase local government budget transparency.
