A Leon County circuit judge ruled yesterday that the Florida Legislature’s proposed property tax constitutional amendment is misleading, and he removed it from the Jan. 29 ballot. The options are to revise the wording of the proposed constitutional amendment, appeal the judge’s ruling, or both. The amendment, as written now, would actually phase out the existing property tax system. Under the change, homeowners could choose to keep their Save-Our-Homes tax savings as long as they live in the same homesteaded property. The homeowner would lose it if they move – just as they do under current law. The homeowner could not choose Save-Our-Homes tax savings in the future should the amendment pass as it is currently written.
