Tampa St. Petersburg, FL, October 28, 2026 —
Polls indicate that Florida’s Amendment 3, a ballot initiative proposing property tax cuts for homeowners, is not currently reaching the 60% support required for passage. The measure is being backed by Gov. Ron DeSantis, who is actively campaigning in favor of it, while opponents have warned that it could lead to significant revenue losses for local governments.
The available information does not identify the polls, their dates, the share of voters supporting or opposing the amendment, or the margin of error. It therefore does not establish how close the measure is to the required threshold or whether support has changed over time. The specific terms of the proposed property tax cuts were also not provided.
Under the threshold described for the measure, falling short of 60% would mean the amendment does not meet the stated requirement for passage. The poll results, however, are not a final election outcome. No election date or final vote count was included in the information available.
The campaign has put the proposal’s potential effects on local government revenue at the center of the disagreement. DeSantis is supporting the measure, while opponents warn of significant losses. The information provided does not include statements from either side explaining the expected scale of the cuts or how local governments might respond.
The size and scope of any potential revenue impact were not specified, and no estimates, affected jurisdictions, or details about local government services were provided. The available information likewise does not include the identities of the opponents raising the revenue concerns.
With polling described as below the passage threshold and campaigning continuing, the measure’s eventual outcome remains undetermined based on the information provided. Further details about the polling and the amendment’s provisions were not available.
