LiveNOW’s Andy Mac is speaking with Member of the Florida House of Representatives, Fiona McFarland, as state GOP lawmakers are working to advance a proposal that could ask voters to significantly scale back homestead property taxes. Reporting indicates that the current measure faces an uncertain future in the Florida Senate. According to our partners at FOX 35 Orlando, the proposal follows months of study by a select committee formed at the end of the 2025 session. The panel produced eight proposals last fall, three of which advanced to the House floor. We have heard that House Speaker Daniel Perez, R-Miami, framed the vote as part of an ongoing negotiation with the Senate. "Although this stands as the House’s contribution to the property tax conversation, we continue to be open to any of the Senate’s ideas — provided those ideas ever materialize as actions," Perez said.
