The press conference comes after the governor called Florida lawmakers back to the Capitol for a June 1 special session on property taxes.
The governor’s plan would ask voters to approve a constitutional amendment raising Florida’s homestead exemption to $150,000 in 2027 and $250,000 in 2028. Lawmakers would then be required to create a schedule to eventually eliminate homestead property taxes entirely.
To reach the November ballot, the proposal would need support from 60% of both the House and Senate. If approved by lawmakers, it would then require 60% voter support to become part of the Florida Constitution.
This is a developing story. Tampa Bay 28 will provide more details as they become available.
