Schools, healthcare, public safety could be hit under property tax plan released by DeSantis

Gov. Ron DeSantis proposed a homestead property tax exemption plan that could reduce local government funding for schools, healthcare, and public safety. The plan requires legislative approval and voter support, with exemptions increasing to $250,000 or $500,000. It would immediately benefit 28% of homestead parcels and 76% if the exemption is raised to $500,000.
