Residents who want to understand how a statewide tax change could affect city services.
Everyone who uses city services — renters, non-homestead owners, and users of parks, the library, events, and public safety would face service cuts.

Planning Board - 10 Sep 2026
If voters pass Amendment 3 in November, Largo could lose $15.7 million a year in property tax revenue by the second year, hitting the 2028 budget. The city says it can't close that gap by cutting parks and the library alone — police and fire would face cuts too. A town hall with Rep. Burfield is planned in the coming weeks.
