Overview

• House Speaker Daniel Perez released a package of eight constitutional measures that range from eliminating non‑school homestead property taxes to new exemptions and Save Our Homes portability changes.
• All proposals exclude school levies from cuts and include language barring reductions to law enforcement funding.
• Specific options include outright elimination, a 10‑year phaseout via annual $100,000 exemptions, a 65‑plus exemption, a 25% homestead exemption on non‑school taxes, a $100,000 insurance‑linked exemption, removal of the portability cap, and slower assessment growth over three years.
• The resolutions contain no immediate implementing laws, and a separate bill would require a two‑thirds local vote to raise millage and allow newly married couples to merge Save Our Homes benefits.
• Democrats and some local officials warn of service cuts and strain on smaller counties, while supporters highlight that school funding—roughly 46% supported by property taxes—remains protected.
