AI Summary

  • Proposes amendments to the Florida Constitution (Article VII, Sections 3 and 4) to authorize the Legislature to grant two $25,000 ad valorem tax exemptions on certain residential rental property subject to a written lease of 6 months or more
  • Property owners must already hold legal or equitable title to a separate homestead-exempt property to qualify, and the leased property must be one that could qualify for homestead exemption if the owner lived there
  • The first $25,000 exemption applies to assessed value up to $25,000; the second exemption applies to assessed value between $50,000 and $75,000 and excludes school district levies, mirroring the standard homestead exemption structure
  • Creates a new assessment limitation capping annual increases on qualifying leased properties at the lower of 3% or the change in the Consumer Price Index, with reassessment at just value triggered by change of ownership or loss of homestead status
  • The amendment would be submitted to voters at the next general election and, if approved, would take effect beginning with the 2027 tax roll
