Amendments

Three state-wide amendments are up for consideration by Florida voters including prohibiting flood resistance improvements to a home from being taken into consideration for property tax purposes, abolishing the Constitution Revision Commission, and a proposal to grant property tax breaks to some public service workers and teachers who own homes, valued at certain amounts.

If passed, Floridians who prepare for flooding, rising sea levels, and natural disasters by elevating their homes can do so without their property taxes increasing.

The fate of the Constitutional Revision Commission, which can make changes to the Florida Constitution without a public vote, could be decided during the Nov. 8 statewide general election.

Amendment 3 would increase the homestead exemption for teachers, law enforcement and the military, and other first responders.

Throughout Southwest Florida, primary voters will cast ballots in a number of county commission and city council races including seats for Lee County Commission, Fort Myers City Council, Cape Coral City Council, and a number of local ballot referendums for voters in Cape Coral, Marco Island and Collier County.
