Florida House pushes for stronger property tax cuts

In addition to portability – which the governor, Senate and House already advocate – the updated House proposal includes a 5 percent assessment cap on commercial and non-homestead property. The cap applies to properties, so a change of ownership would not change those taxes under a new owner, giving non-homestead property owners a degree of stability and predictability.

The House also advocates a new homestead exemption. Instead of doubling the current $25,000 exemption, the plan would guarantee a minimum Save Our Homes exemption of 40 percent of a county’s median home price. House leaders believe this will provide relief to not only new buyers but also those who have purchased in recent years.
