DeSantis Plan to Cut Florida Property Taxes Heads to Ballot—With Schools Removed

Florida's lawmakers have greenlit a revised property tax cut plan from Gov. Ron DeSantis, stripping out provisions that would have affected local school districts. The Florida House and Senate passed the resolutions that will now head to the ballot, aiming to reduce property taxes for homeowners. This move underscores DeSantis' focus on tax relief, but without impacting school funding, which could be a strategic move to gain broader voter support while avoiding potential backlash from educators and parents concerned about school funding.
