Florida's historic property tax reform: Libraries and renters fear 'existential threat'
Local leaders expect budget shortfalls nearing the billions of dollars in coming years should the amendment pass, meaning libraries and other local services could be on the chopping block.

Under Florida Senate Bill 2-F , the "Save our Homes from Excessive Property Taxes Act," exempts the first $250,000 of a homestead property's value from taxation and requires a schedule for full elimination of those taxes.
Because the shift requires an amendment to the state's constitution, 60% of voters will have to approve it via ballot referendum in November for it to actually go into effect.
