Florida votes on Amendment 3 on Tuesday, November 3, 2026. If approved, it would add a new homestead exemption on top of the one Florida homeowners already have: $150,000 in 2027 and $250,000 in 2028, meaning a larger share of a homesteaded home's value would be exempt from property taxes in those years.
It needs 60% approval to pass — a simple majority is not enough for a constitutional amendment in Florida. Early voting ran October 24–31, 2026. December 31, 2026 is the residency cutoff tied to Amendment 3, so if you are relocating to Florida, that date belongs on your radar — your county property appraiser is the right place to confirm how residency and eligibility apply to you.
Vote if you have not already, then watch the November 3 result. If it passes, check with your property appraiser about what it means for your home, because the details will matter for your tax bill.
