Brevard County legislators voted unanimously to support a property tax elimination bill backed by Gov. Ron DeSantis, which passed both chambers of the Florida Legislature on June 2. The measure requires a 60% supermajority of voters to approve it in the November 2026 election. Local officials have warned the change could cut funding for libraries, parks, and infrastructure, which currently rely on homestead property taxes. All five Republican Brevard County lawmakers in the Florida House supported the bill, which passed 75-26. Both state senators representing the Space Coast, Debbie Mayfield and Tom Wright, also voted in favor, with the Senate approving it 30-9. "The next stop is on the November ballot for the voters to take it up," said Rep. Tyler Sirois (R-Merritt Island). "The voters are going to have between now and November to go over the issue and review it." The bill would eliminate homestead property taxes on up to $250,000 of a primary home's value, potentially removing around 60% of local government funding. City and county officials have expressed frustration, saying the move could jeopardize road maintenance, stormwater systems, and other essential services. Supporters argue the change would ease financial burdens on homeowners. The final decision rests with Florida voters, who must approve the measure by November 2026 for it to take effect.
