Ansökan riktar sig till: Florida Residents

We, the undersigned citizens of the State of Florida, urge the Florida Legislature to pass HJR 67, the Save Our Homes Cap Reduction Amendment, which would reduce the annual property assessment cap on homesteaded properties from 3% to 1.5% (or the change in inflation, whichever is lower).

This measure directly addresses the problem of “tax creep” — the steady increase in property tax bills caused by rising assessments even when local millage rates remain unchanged. By cutting the assessment cap in half, HJR 67 provides real, lasting relief for homeowners, retirees, and working families, while ensuring predictable, responsible growth in property tax revenue.

Core Claim:

HJR 67 protects Florida homeowners from runaway property taxes by cutting the Save Our Homes cap from 3% to 1.5%, ensuring fairness, stability, and affordability for all Floridians.

Supporting Points:

• Reduces the annual property tax assessment growth limit to 1.5%.
• Prevents homeowners from being taxed out of their homes due to inflation and market spikes.
• Offers long-term budget stability for families, seniors, and veterans on fixed incomes.
• Encourages responsible local budgeting by reducing tax reliance on rising property values.
• Reinforces Florida’s tradition of protecting property rights and voter-approved tax limits.

Our Ask:

We call upon the Florida Legislature to adopt and advance HJR 67 to the 2026 ballot — allowing voters to decide whether to strengthen homeowner protections under Florida’s Save Our Homes provision.

Would you like me to create a shorter public-facing summary (around 60–80 words) formatted for a petition card or online petition banner? It would distill the claim into one strong paragraph for digital display.
