🏡🌴 FLORIDA HOMEOWNERS — BIG PROPERTY TAX CHANGES COULD BE COMING!

Florida voters will decide on Amendment 3 on November 3, 2026, and the outcome could have a significant impact on property taxes throughout the state!

So, what does this actually mean for you?

✅ Potentially Lower Property Taxes! If approved, qualifying homeowners could see substantial savings as more of their home’s assessed value becomes exempt from non-school property taxes.

✅ Your Primary Residence Matters! The increased homestead exemption would apply to qualifying primary residences, not vacation homes or investment properties.

✅ School Taxes Aren’t Going Away. The proposed increase would only apply to non-school property taxes. You’ll still pay the school district portion.

✅ Thinking About Moving to Florida? Timing could matter! Those who become Florida residents after December 31, 2026, would generally need to wait until their fifth year of homestead eligibility to receive the increased exemption.

✅ Own a Second Home or Investment Property? The amendment would also reduce the annual cap on assessed-value increases for non-homestead properties from 10% to 5%, potentially offering additional protection against rising assessments.

💡 Why does this matter for real estate?

Property taxes play an important role in affordability, monthly housing costs, and purchasing decisions. These proposed changes could make homeownership more affordable for qualifying Florida residents and influence buying and selling decisions.

Have estate or inherited property questions? 🏡⚖️

Florida recently increased the asset threshold for summary administration from $75,000 to $150,000.

Why does that matter?

For some families, it may mean a simpler probate process, which can help get an inherited property to the point where it can be legally transferred or sold sooner and with less delay and expense.

And here’s where it gets interesting: not every asset is treated the same.

A qualifying Florida homestead may not count toward that $150,000 threshold in the same way as other probate assets. So even if the home itself is worth substantially more than $150,000, the estate may still potentially qualify for summary administration depending on the circumstances.

Was it the decedent’s primary Florida residence?
Was it homestead?
What other assets are in the estate?
Who inherited the property?
Has probate already been opened?

Those details matter.

As both a paralegal and a REALTOR®, I understand how the probate process and the real estate transaction overlap. If you’ve inherited a home, are helping settle an estate, or simply aren’t sure what needs to happen before a property can be sold…

I can help you navigate the real estate side and help point you in the right direction when legal guidance is needed.

Not legal advice. Every estate is different. Consult a Florida attorney regarding your specific probate matter.

Today I had a buyer who wanted to see a house.

I submitted the showing request.

No response.

So I texted the listing agent.

No response.

Then I called.

Still nothing.

Meanwhile, I have a ready, willing buyer who wants to see the property.

Now listen, I get it. Realtors are busy. We’re showing homes, driving, meeting with clients and we can’t always respond immediately.

But when you’re selling someone’s home, responsiveness matters.

Because buyers don’t always wait around.

If they can’t get into one house, they may move right on to the next one.

And the seller may never even know there was a buyer trying to get through the door.

So if you’re selling your home, you want a Realtor who answers, follows up and makes it as easy as possible for buyers to see your property.

Getting a home sold isn’t just about great photos and marketing. It’s also about being available when buyers want to see it.

A missed showing can mean a missed opportunity and sometimes the seller never even knows it happened…

Want a responsive Realtor? You know who to call. 😉

Florida is dominating the list of places Americans are eyeing for newly built homes, with out-of-town buyers driving more than 80% of views in several Sunshine State markets.

Lakeland leads the nation, with more than 83% of new-construction views coming from outside the metro, followed by Cape Coral at 82.4%, Port St. Lucie at 80.9% and North Port at 80.5%.

Affordability and the Sun Belt lifestyle are helping fuel the demand as Americans increasingly look beyond their local housing markets for their next home.
