Property tax homestead exemption amendment on November ballot
Summary
A statewide ballot measure would raise the homestead exemption to $150,000 in 2027 and $250,000 in 2028, then move toward full exemption — a potential major hit to city revenue that pays for roads, parks, and services. Commissioners want a public education campaign, noting it's a tax shift, not a tax cut.
