Amendment 3 passed: Check calculator to see your home's property tax savings
A Miami Lakes address goes into the calculator, and the estimated property-tax bill comes back close to halved. NBC 6 South Florida's short explainer turns Florida's Amendment 3 result into a household question: what would the change mean for this home?
The report demonstrates the Save Our Homes calculator, which Gov. Ron DeSantis announced in May. Users enter a home address to see an estimate of their savings. In the station's example, the display compares estimated taxes with a lower bill under an increased homestead exemption.
That practical demonstration has drawn roughly 125,000 views in its opening sixteen hours, putting the Short well ahead of the station's usual opening pace.
The presenter also draws a distinction between the savings shown and a possible further change: eliminating property taxes on homesteaded homes would depend on lawmakers eventually phasing them out. The calculator's reduced bill is not the same thing as that full elimination.
Viewers are asking how the estimates relate to their own bills, while others raise questions about tax rates and funding for local services. The report ends by asking homeowners what the calculator showed for their address.
Florida’s governor since 2019 and a member of the Republican Party. He previously represented Florida’s 6th congressional district in the U.S. House.
