Between July 13, 2026 and July 2027 the county cannot accept or revise ROGO applications while it rewrites its code for the state-mandated 657 new allocations. Building permits can still be processed and held.

Florida Amendment 3 property tax impact
The property appraiser's analysis found Amendment 3 likely won't shrink Monroe County's overall taxable value — non-homestead properties offset homestead savings — but the fire/ambulance district in the lower and middle Keys would lose revenue. Even so, the county's ~$12.5 million in annual cost growth outpaces the projected new revenue, and a state-mandated 10% budget-cut exercise is coming.
