HJR-1F Property Tax Reform Impacts

The state's proposed homestead exemption increase ($150K in 2027, $250K in 2028) could eventually cut about $188 million a year from Seminole's general, fire and road funds. School taxes stay, so homeowners still get a tax bill. Expect a legal challenge to the ballot language.
