A historic property-tax break is on Florida's November 2026 ballot.
If voters approve, Florida's homestead exemption for non-school taxes would rise to $150,000 in 2027 and $250,000 in 2028 — potentially erasing most property taxes for primary homeowners.
The catch for newcomers: move to Florida after Dec. 31, 2026 and you may wait up to five years to qualify for the full exemption. When you establish residency matters.

Meet Maria Fernanda Gallo
Hi, I'm Maria Fernanda Gallo— a licensed Florida REALTOR® based right here in Port St. Lucie. I've spent years helping Northeast retirees navigate the move to Florida, and I built Coast Florida Livingbecause most real estate websites don't actually help people moving from far away.
I've personally toured every 55+ community in PSL. I know which builders deliver on time and which don't. I know which neighborhoods flood and which don't. And I know which insurance brokers actually pick up the phone after a hurricane.
