If you own property in Florida—or are planning to buy or sell in the next few years—there are some important proposed changes on the horizon. In 2026, voters will decide whether to raise the homestead exemption for non-school taxes to $250,000 by 2028. There’s also a proposed reduction in the annual assessment cap to 5% for many non-homestead properties, set to take effect starting January 2027.
As someone who helps clients navigate every twist and turn of Florida’s property landscape—especially those big life transitions like divorce, inheritance, or downsizing—I know how these changes can impact both your plans and your wallet. Whether you’re considering selling a long-held family home or searching for your next move, understanding these potential shifts is key to making smart decisions. My goal is always to provide clear guidance and up-to-date market knowledge, so that you can feel confident about your next step in our ever-evolving real estate market.
