AGP Executive Report
Last update: 10 hours agoProperty Taxes (Florida): Florida lawmakers approved a constitutional amendment that would expand the homestead exemption—raising it from $50,000 to $150,000 in 2027 and $250,000 in 2028—while excluding school district levies; the measure needs 60% voter approval in November and local officials warn it could squeeze services like fire rescue, schools, and road maintenance. Local Impact (Key Biscayne): Preliminary estimates say the change could cut Key Biscayne’s annual property tax revenue by up to $1.6 million by 2028. Housing & Policy (Panhandle): Panhandle realtors say the tax cut could boost demand, but rental and investment properties would not qualify for the homestead exemption. Construction (Miami): Stantec broke ground on FIU and Baptist Health’s $162M, 163,000-square-foot Helen and Jacob Shaham Academic Medical Center, targeting completion in 2028. Flood Risk (Florida): New research links wetland loss to higher flood insurance claims, with coastal Florida among the hardest hit areas. Legal/Consumer (Florida): Tallahassee attorney Scott Manion is set to receive the Florida Bar Consumer Protection Lawyer of the Year award for foreclosure defense and housing advocacy.
