For the November 3, 2026, general election, among the candidates and issues there are 3 amendments on the Florida ballot.  I will try my best to give a non-partisan explanation of this amendment and a brief history of property taxes and property tax exemptions. Taxing real estate has been happening for thousands of years.  Even back to ancient Egypt there are records of direct property taxes being levied by Pharaoh.  In the United States by the 1790s most states were taxing land in one way or another.  The first property tax levies in Florida began in 1830 (before Florida even became a state). In 1885, the Florida constitution created a uniform system of assessments and millage rates similar to what we have today. The first homestead exemption was created in 1934 and provided for a $5,0...
