You've seen lots of property tax discourse in the news, and now a Nov. 3 general election ballot question is coming. The proposed amendment would change how property taxes in Florida are applied to homesteads.
If the ballot measure is approved, the City of North Port would lose an estimated $14.5 million in ad valorem tax revenue. This level of revenue loss could affect the city's ability to fund services supported by the General Fund. This includes parks & recreation, emergency management and public safety (police and fire are not exempt, and their levels of service could be impacted).
Visit NorthPortFL.gov/PropertyTax to learn what that means for you and your North Port city services.
