As a lifelong Naples local and second-generation Realtor, I’ve seen countless changes shape our Southwest Florida communities. A big one may be on the horizon: in 2026, Florida voters will decide on an amendment that could increase the homestead exemption to $250,000 for non-school taxes by 2028. There’s also a proposed reduction of the annual assessment cap to 5% for many non-homestead properties, set to take effect in January 2027.
For homeowners, investors, and those considering a move—these proposed changes could have a real impact on property taxes, whether you’re planning to settle in, downsize, or invest locally. My background in both real estate and education means I’m always here to help break down what these shifts might mean for your next step, your property’s value, or your long-term plans. Staying informed helps us all make smarter, less stressful decisions.
