Overview
- Seven joint resolutions and one bill outline options from eliminating non-school homestead taxes to phased cuts, senior exemptions, a 25% homestead exemption, an insurance-linked $100,000 exemption, portability expansion, and slower assessment growth.
- All proposals shield K–12 school levies and prohibit reductions to law-enforcement funding, with school property taxes cited at roughly 46% of statewide school funding.
- HJR 211 would remove the Save Our Homes portability cap for non-school taxes, and HJR 213 would shift assessment limits to a three-year cycle of up to 3% for homesteads and 15% for non-homesteads on non-school taxes.
- HB 215 would require a two‑thirds vote to raise local millage rates and allow newly married couples to combine Save Our Homes benefits, while the seven constitutional measures must clear three‑fifths of the Legislature and then 60% of voters.
- Committee referrals have begun and state economists have not yet issued fiscal impact reviews, with several measures set to take effect Jan. 1, 2027 if approved.
