- Fact-checking DeSantis: Would his plan exempt 60% of Florida homeowners from paying property taxes?
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis proposed a property tax plan to raise the exemption threshold for primary residences to $150,000 in 2027 and $250,000 in 2028, aiming to eventually eliminate property taxes for all primary homes. State data shows 28% of Florida’s primary residences are valued at $250,000 or below, conflicting with DeSantis’ claim that 60% would be exempt under the $250,000 threshold.
