Introducing the Florida Amendment 3 Tracker

The Florida Amendment 3 Property Tax Impact Tracker  provides continuously updated coverage of ballot language, election milestones, policy developments, fiscal impacts, and other key information related to Florida's proposed constitutional amendment.

We developed the Florida Amendment 3 Tracker as a continuously updated resource designed to consolidate publicly available information on one of Florida's most significant proposed constitutional amendments.

The resource combines official ballot language, election milestones, policy analysis, legislative developments, and other relevant information into a single reference point, making it easier for homeowners, businesses, local governments, and policy professionals to stay informed as the proposal advances toward the statewide ballot.

Supporters of Amendment 3 argue that the proposal is a response to rapid and unsustainable growth in local government spending. They point to budget growth in some of Florida's largest counties and municipalities that has substantially outpaced inflation, with employee salaries and benefits accounting for more than half of operating expenditures.

Recent examples include introduction and passage of Florida Senate Bill 1566, budget analyses released by Florida Chief Financial Officer Blaise Ingoglia, U.S. Senator Rick Scott's reaffirmation of his support for the proposed constitutional amendment, and analyses published by the Americans for Tax Reform highlighting the relationship between property taxes and local government spending.

Amendment 3 would expand the non-school homestead exemption, lower the non-homestead assessment cap, and require counties and municipalities to use property-tax revenue solely for core public needs. The amendment requires at least 60% statewide voter approval to become part of the Florida Constitution.
