*Miami-Dade Mayor Campaigns Against Statewide Property Tax Cut* Miami-Dade Mayor Daniella Levine Cava launched a campaigng; Wednesday against Amendment 3, the GOP-backed Florida ballot measure that would sharply raise the homestead exemption on primary homes. The proposal would lift the exemption from $50,000 to $150,000 in 2027 and $250,000 in 2028. It needs 60% TV statewide approval in November. County officials say the change would cut about 20% of Miami-Dade’s property tax revenue, roughly $385 million in the first year and nearly $700 million once fully in effect. Levine Cava said that money funds police, fire rescue, ambulances, jails, roads, parks, libraries, transit, and Jackson Health. “It threatens everything from public safety and emergency response to our roads, parks, our libraries,” she said. “These are not luxuries.” She called the amendment deceptive and is raising money through a PAC, No on 3 Protect Our Homes. Supporters say most Florida homeowners would see lower tax bills. Local leaders say the cost of services does not disappear. It just shifts. *Florida Scoop’s Take:* Tax relief sounds simple on a ballot. The fight in Miami-Dade is over what gets cut if the revenue drops.
