Credit: HCSO/FacebookTwo months after it was placed on the November ballot, the Florida Sheriffs Association (FSA) is weighing in on Amendment 3, the proposed property tax cut that, if enacted, could reduce local government funding by billions of dollars in the coming years. But it had remained silent on the amendment, designed to substantially reduce property taxes for Florida homeowners. The research arm of the Florida Legislature estimates it would reduce revenue from property taxes by as much as $12 billion annually. The title of the amendment labels it, “SAVE OUR HOMES FROM EXCESSIVE PROPERTY TAXES.” The summary for Amendment 3 says the amendment “benefits Florida taxpayers” by “ensuring funding for core services,” “protecting small businesses,” and “ensuring fairness for Florida residents.”
