Florida Eliminating Property Taxes? Here’s What’s Actually On the Table

Florida flirting with the idea of getting rid of property taxes is the kind of headline that makes homeowners cheer and local governments break into a cold sweat.

But “Florida is eliminating property taxes” is not a done deal today. What’s happening right now is a push in Tallahassee to put a constitutional amendment on the November 2026 ballot that would phase out most non-school property taxes on homesteaded primary residences over time.

If you own (or want to buy) in Boca Raton, Delray Beach, or Highland Beach, this matters—because property taxes are a real monthly-carry-cost driver, and any major shift can impact demand, pricing, and even what it costs to sell.

Will Florida's Housing Market Cool Down or Crash?

Florida seemingly continues to operate in its own world—at least when it comes to real estate. While signs indicating slowing momentum are popping up more and more throughout the nation, six of the top 25 overvalued home markets are right in our backyard, and several new studies indicate a prolonged period of unaffordability.

Florida Atlantic University, Florida International University, and the University of Alabama found that the current combination of high demand and low inventory that began at the start of the pandemic is likely to continue thanks in part to future population growth projections.

Which Florida Communities Are The Most Overvalued?

Could Mandatory Inspections Prevent Future Condo Tragedies in Boca Raton?

In the wake of the tragic collapse of the Champlain Towers South in Surfside, more questions and concerns regarding the safety of buildings throughout South Florida have emerged seemingly every day. Now, a coalition under Palm Beach County’s League of Cities has proposed an inspection of many condos, apartment buildings, hotels, and offices both east and west of I-95.

This surpasses the standard of 40 years of age in Miami-Dade and Broward counties. While one and two-family homes, government buildings, and schools are excluded, this would result in a massive undertaking, as 90% of the condominiums stretching from…
