As someone who’s spent a decade helping Hernando County families and investors navigate Florida’s housing market, I’m always watching for changes that could impact property ownership here. Florida voters will soon decide on a 2026 amendment that could reshape property taxes statewide: the homestead exemption may increase to $250,000 for non-school taxes by 2028, and starting January 2027, the annual assessment cap for many non-homestead properties could be reduced to 5%. These shifts could have real implications for both homeowners and investors in our area. Living and working in this community, I’m committed to keeping my clients informed about how these changes may affect their plans—whether you’re thinking of buying, selling, or simply want to understand what’s ahead in Hernando County real estate.
