| 2026 Florida Property Tax Amendment 3 What is it? Separating fact from fiction. |
|
You may have heard that Amendment 3 would eliminate property taxes in Florida. It won't. Here's what it would actually do if voters approve it on November 3:

| SARASOTA PREPARES TO HOST THE WORLD | |
 |
|
| Benderson Park Plans $80 Million Boathouse and Multi-Sport Complex Targeted completion is summer 2028 in time to host the World Rowing Championships |
|
| Sarasota's standing as one of the world's top rowing destinations is about to get a major upgrade. Construction on the Nathan Benderson Park Multi-Sport Complex and Boathouse is set to begin this fall, with completion targeted for summer 2028, in time to host the World Rowing Championships. Plans include a new boathouse and eight indoor basketball courts that convert to 16 volleyball courts, along with training, medical, and event space. The new complex adds international visibility and a year-round venue, which supports long-term value for nearby communities like The Concession, Lakewood Ranch, University Park and The Estates at TerraNova. |

| AI REAL ESTATE FRAUD ALERT | |
 |
|
| AI Is Making Wire Fraud Harder to Spot What you need to know before closing |
|
| Scammers are now using AI to clone voices and fake documents, making wire fraud schemes more convincing than ever. Real estate fraud losses climbed to over $275 million last year, and Florida ranks among the highest-risk states in the country. The most vulnerable moment comes between contract and closing, when payment instructions are shared by email. Treat any change to wiring instructions as a red flag, and always verify directly with your title company or closing attorney using a phone number you already have on file. Owners of vacant or investment properties should stay especially alert. | |
|
| SARASOTA IS GOOD FOR HIGH EARNERS | |
 |
|
| Moving to Florida Could Amount to a 30% Increase in Pay For high earners in high-tax states, Florida residency can change far more than a tax bill |
|
| For high-income households, moving to Florida can change how much money they keep each year far more than many people expect. In a recent Wall Street Journal column, economist Stephen Moore estimated that a very high earner in California or New York City keeps roughly 46 cents of each additional dollar earned, compared with about 60 cents in a state with no income tax. That's about 30% more take-home income, and the difference repeats every year. | |
