New Group Raises Concerns Over Governor DeSantis’ Proposed Property Tax Relief Amendment

Miami Fort Lauderdale, FL, June 29, 2026 —

A newly formed political group, 3 Degrees Florida, has voiced apprehension regarding a proposed constitutional amendment championed by Governor Ron DeSantis, which is intended to offer property tax relief to Floridians.

While 3 Degrees Florida states it is not inherently opposed to the concept of tax relief, the organization expresses significant concern over the potential ramifications of the amendment on the financial stability of local governments. According to the group, the amendment could lead to a substantial decrease in revenue for these local entities.

The potential reduction in funding raises alarms about the continued provision of essential public services. 3 Degrees Florida points to services such as public safety, infrastructure maintenance and development, and public parks as potentially being impacted if local governments experience a significant revenue shortfall.

A key point of concern for the group is the apparent lack of a clearly defined plan to compensate for the anticipated loss of revenue. This absence of a replacement funding strategy is a central part of their argument against the amendment as it currently stands.

3 Degrees Florida is actively urging Florida voters to carefully examine the proposed amendment and consider what they term as the “unintended consequences” before it is presented for a vote on the ballot. The group aims to foster a more thorough public understanding of the amendment’s potential effects beyond the immediate benefit of property tax reduction.

The specifics of the amendment’s language and the exact projected impact on local government revenue have not been detailed in the provided information. Similarly, the timeline for when the amendment will appear on the ballot was not specified.
