Property Tax Amendments
Approved on November 4
On November 4, Florida voters approved three amendments (Amendments 3, 4 and 6) relating to property taxes. The amendments were recommended by the Florida Taxation and Budget Reform Commission and address wind resistant and renewable energy source improvements made to property, lands set aside for conservation and how working waterfront property is appraised.

The new law (Amendment One)provides the following:
An Additional Homestead Exemption, Portability of the "Save Our Homes" Benefit from one homestead to another, a Cap on Annual Assessment Increases of Non-Homesteaded Property and a Tangible Personal Property Exemption.
