Florida lawmakers expected to hammer out details of DeSantis’ property tax plan in special session

Florida lawmakers are set to finalize details of Gov. Ron DeSantis' property tax relief plan during a special session, aiming to phase out property taxes through increased homestead exemptions. Critics warn the plan could lead to higher local government fees and significant revenue losses for counties and schools, with estimates showing potential declines of up to 35% in school funding and 34% in county revenue.
