DID YOU KNOW?
Buying a Florida home before year-end could matter.
Florida voters will consider Amendment 3 on November 3, 2026. If it receives at least 60% voter approval, eligible homeowners who establish permanent Florida residency by December 31, 2026 may qualify immediately for a significantly larger homestead exemption from non-school property taxes.
Proposed homestead exemption
Proposed homestead exemption
WHY DECEMBER 31, 2026 MAY BE IMPORTANT
Under the proposal, homeowners who are Florida residents by December 31, 2026 may qualify for the increased exemption immediately. Those who become residents after that date may have to wait until their fifth year of homestead eligibility.
For a 2026 buyer, closing alone is not enough.
- Purchase and take title to the Florida property before year-end
- Make the home the buyer’s genuine permanent Florida residence
- Own and qualify for homestead as of January 1, 2027
- Apply for the homestead exemption by the applicable filing deadline
