AI Summary

  • Proposes an amendment to the Florida State Constitution (Article VII, Section 6) to require annual inflation adjustments to the $25,000 homestead exemption that applies to non-school district levies on assessed value between $50,000 and $75,000
  • Adjustments would occur each January 1 based on the percent change in the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U), but only when the percent change is positive (no downward adjustments)
  • Requires any future homestead exemptions added to the constitution after January 1, 2025, that apply solely to non-school district levies, to also receive automatic annual CPI-based inflation adjustments beginning the year after their effective date
  • Must be submitted to Florida voters for approval at the next general election or an earlier special election, with an effective date of January 1, 2025, if approved
  • Does not apply to the first $25,000 homestead exemption (which covers all levies including school district levies) or to school district tax levies
