This Week in South Florida: Jeff Brandes

PEMBROKE PARK, Fla. — The biggest change to your property tax bill is coming. Florida voters — 62% of them — decided to increase the homestead exemption tax savings over the next few years and potentially eliminate property taxes in the future. And that’s despite a strong push from those who run Florida cities and counties — a collective plea not to deplete the revenues that pay for services. That included a massive lobbying effort from law enforcement and first responders. Enough voters, apparently, were ready to risk the consequences. Jeff Brandes, who runs the Florida Policy Project, arguably did more prognosticating and number crunching on what Amendment 3 might mean. He joined “This Week in South Florida” on Sunday to discuss what’s next. Watch his interview in the video above. Copyright 2026 by WPLG Local10.com - All rights reserved.
