Learn How Proposed Property Tax Cuts Threaten Local Services

The Florida Legislature held a special session the week of June 1 and approved a ballot amendment to reduce property taxes on all homesteaded properties.

To help citizens understand legislation approved by the 2026 legislature, Beaches Watch hosted a meeting on June 3 with the three beaches City Managers. The City Manager provided a presentation about 2026 legislation that was approved that will impact our beaches communities, including the property tax amendment.
