flag DeSantis proposes $117B budget with property tax elimination for homeowners, backed by voter approval and revenue guarantees.

flag Florida Governor Ron DeSantis unveiled a $117 billion "Floridians First" budget for 2026, proposing to eliminate local property taxes for homesteaded homeowners via a 2026 ballot amendment, while pledging to fully backfill revenue losses for small and rural counties—though details on duration, eligibility, and funding mechanics remain unclear. flag The plan includes record investments in education, transportation, law enforcement, and health care, with $1.56 billion for teacher pay raises and $30.6 billion for K-12 schools. flag The proposal requires legislative approval and 60% voter support to pass, facing criticism from Democrats and some Republicans over fiscal sustainability and lack of specifics.
