Your Florida ballot, in order. Tap a measure for the full explainer.
Amendment 1Constitutional amendment
Bigger state rainy-day fund
Florida has an emergency savings jar for storms and recessions. This would let the jar grow from 10% to 25% of net general revenue and require deposits until it reaches the new limit.
- Yes vote
- Increasing the Budget Stabilization Fund cap to 25% of net general revenue and generally requiring annual transfers of up to $750 million until the cap is reached.
- No vote
- Keeping the current 10% cap and current deposit rules.
Amendment 2Constitutional amendment
Farm equipment tax exemption
Qualifying tractors, tools, and other farm equipment would no longer have a local property tax. The land and buildings would still be taxed, so this is like removing a yearly tax on a farmer's work tools, not the whole farm.
- Yes vote
- Exempting qualifying tangible personal property used for farming or agritourism on agricultural land from property taxes, beginning with the 2027 tax year.
- No vote
- Qualifying agricultural equipment remains taxable under current rules.
Amendment 3Constitutional amendment
Larger homestead tax break
Many homeowners would get a bigger discount on property taxes that do not pay for schools. Tax increases on many rentals and businesses would slow, but cities and counties could have less money and fewer choices about what to fund.
- Yes vote
- Increasing the non-school homestead exemption, lowering the non-homestead assessment-growth cap from 10% to 5%, and restricting how municipalities and counties may spend property-tax revenue.
- No vote
- Keeping the current homestead exemption, 10% non-homestead cap, and local spending rules.
