Gov. DeSantis says he’s still working on property tax rebates for Florida homeowners

Gov. Ron DeSantis is pushing for a property tax rebate of up to $1,000 for Florida homeowners with homestead exemptions, aiming to send checks by the end of 2025. Despite his efforts, legislative budget leaders have not seen a formal proposal. The Legislature is focusing on smaller tax cuts, and final budget negotiations are ongoing, with a vote expected by mid-June. DeSantis also suggested eliminating property taxes in fiscally constrained counties, costing about $300 million.
