Who wins and who pays? Inside DeSantis' new property tax proposal
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis proposes increasing the state's homestead property tax exemption from $50,000 to $250,000, with a potential future rise to $500,000. The plan could save homeowners thousands annually but risks reducing local government funding for services like infrastructure and schools. Approval requires legislative support and voter approval.
