Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is pushing a proposal that could reduce property taxes for many homeowners across the state.<\/p>\n

The proposal, announced Wednesday, would increase Florida\u2019s homestead exemption from the current $50,000 to $250,000. If approved by voters, lawmakers would also be required to create a plan to eventually raise the exemption to $500,000.<\/p>\n

The proposal could appear on the November ballot, but first it must receive approval from at least three-fifths of both the Florida House and Senate.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tGov. Ron DeSantis defended his proposal to reduce property taxes on Friday, a measure that will be discussed by the Florida Legislature beginning Monday during a special session. NBC6’s Hatzel Vela reports\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n

For many homeowners, the proposal could mean significant savings.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a rough time right now, and everything is so high, and people can\u2019t even live right now,\u201d homeowner Wanda Chamber said. \u201cI think they should do away with it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe pay off the house, and then we literally rent it from the government from that point on,\u201d another resident said.<\/p>\n

According to Broward County Property Appraiser Marty Kiar, his office conducted an analysis examining how the proposal could affect Broward County homeowners.<\/p>\n

The analysis found the initial exemption increase could save the average Broward County homeowner about $4,129 annually, while nearly 189,000 homeowners in the county would pay no property taxes at all.<\/p>\n

If the exemption eventually rises to $500,000, Broward County homeowners receiving the full exemption could save as much as $9,000 per year.<\/p>\n

Still, local officials and homeowners warn that the plan could significantly reduce funding for local governments that rely on property tax revenue to pay for services and infrastructure.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy thoughts are that if the city and the county won\u2019t get funding, they won\u2019t be able to provide for roads or infrastructure,\u201d homeowner Robert Bullen said. \u201cThey\u2019re not going to have that money.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bullen said he supports continuing to pay property taxes if the money maintains parks, recreation centers, and infrastructure.<\/p>\n

\u201cI mean, if the parks that we have around are kept up by those tax dollars, I agree that we should continue to pay them,\u201d he said. \u201cWho\u2019s going to pay for them?\u201d<\/p>\n

The financial impact would vary by community, according to Kiar\u2019s analysis.<\/p>\n

For example, the city of Pembroke Park, which has fewer residential residents, could lose about 1.2% of its property tax revenue. But Cooper City, which is mostly residential, could lose roughly 34% of the taxes they collect.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you amend the Constitution, you\u2019re basically saying this is how we want the law to be forever,\u201d Kiar said. \u201cThat\u2019s why it\u2019s exceptionally important that people are provided with as much information as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to DeSantis, the proposal would include some funding protections for essential services such as schools and emergency response agencies. The governor also said grants for local governments could help offset losses during the transition.<\/p>\n
