Why the Save Our Homes Proposal Works
Eliminating property taxes does not mean eliminating essential services. It means funding them in a way that is fairer, more transparent, and more aligned with the community’s needs.
A renewed system would provide homeowners immediate savings and a pathway to full elimination of property taxes while ensuring essential services remain funded.
As proposed, the Save our Homes proposal provides the pathway for full repeal for homesteaded property taxes through a two-step approach.
Protection for Non-Homesteaded Properties
The proposal would also protect non-homesteaded residential and non-residential properties by limiting assessed value increases.
Truth and Transparency in Local Budgeting
The proposal would require local governments to conduct budget reviews similar to Florida’s state agencies, including reviewing proposed cuts.
Protects Essential Services
The proposal would also require that any property tax from non-homesteaded properties be used solely for law enforcement, education, disaster response, transportation, conservation, and flooding protections-further protecting Florida’s quality of life
