How Does Amendment 1 Impact Our Community?
The Property Appraiser’s database, which categorizes all property in Pinellas County, determined that 2 in 3 homes would not qualify for additional exemption on property taxes, with one-third of homes estimated to save. Businesses and renters do not qualify.
According to the Property Appraiser's office, the fiscal impact of Amendment 1 is a $42.5 million projected loss in government funds for essential public services such as fire, EMS, police libraries, parks and more.
