Three amendments and a school tax question
The ballot summaries say:
- Amendment 1, budget stabilization fund: raises the cap on the state’s rainy-day fund from 10% to 25% of general revenue collections. The Legislature would have to move the lesser of $750 million or the amount needed to reach 25% into it each year, unless certain conditions are met.
- Amendment 2, farm equipment: exempts tangible personal property on agricultural land, used for farming or agritourism, from property tax, starting with the 2027 tax year.
- Amendment 3, homestead exemption: raises the homestead exemption for all non-school taxes to $150,000 in 2027 and $250,000 in 2028, then adjusts it for inflation. It cuts the yearly cap on assessment increases for non-homestead property from 10% to 5%. It also requires counties and cities to use property taxes for listed purposes, including public safety, schools, infrastructure and natural resources. People who are not Florida residents on Dec. 31, 2026, get the larger exemption only from their fifth year of exemption.
- Pasco school millage referendum: asks whether the School Board should keep levying up to 1 mill a year from July 1, 2027, to June 30, 2031. The ballot says the money is to recruit and keep teachers, bus drivers and support staff and to improve school safety, and that the money would be shared proportionately with public schools in the district as state law requires, with yearly reports to taxpayers.
Our property taxes guide explains how the homestead exemption and millage work in Pasco now.
