During a stop in Jacksonville on Wednesday, Gov. Ron DeSantis promised that there will be a special session to discuss relief for homeowners. While he did not provide a specific start date for the session, he emphasized the importance of addressing property tax concerns.
The announcement comes as homeowners in Hernando, Pasco, and Citrus counties, like many across Florida, face increasing property tax bills. Local officials and residents have been advocating for relief, and Gov. DeSantis’ commitment to a special session is seen as a positive step. “We’re going to have a special session, and it’s going to be focused on property tax relief,” DeSantis said. The session will likely consider various proposals aimed at reducing the burden on homeowners, including potential exemptions or rate reductions.
For residents in Brooksville, Spring Hill, Dade City, Hudson, Weeki Wachee, Zephyrhills, New Port Richey, Inverness, and Crystal River, the prospect of property tax relief is a welcome development. As the special session approaches, local leaders and residents will be watching closely to see what specific measures are proposed and how they might benefit from these changes.
More information on the special session, including the exact date and agenda, will be released as it becomes available. In the meantime, homeowners can stay informed by visiting the Florida Legislature’s website or following local news sources for updates.
