Florida lawmakers pass property tax bill, send it to voters
The measure backed by Gov. DeSantis now requires a statewide referendum before it can take effect.
The Florida Legislature passed a property tax bill championed by Gov. Ron DeSantis, clearing both chambers and sending the measure directly to voters for final approval in a statewide referendum, WSVN reports. The bill cannot take effect without voter consent at the ballot box. For property owners in Pompano Beach and across the state, the referendum will determine whether the proposed changes to Florida's property tax structure become law. Specific ballot language, the election date, and the full scope of the bill's provisions have not yet been detailed in local coverage. Homeowners should watch for further guidance from the Broward County Property Appraiser's office as the referendum process advances.
