DeSantis Plans Special Session Within Two Months on Property Tax Cut

Gov. Ron DeSantis announced Wednesday he will call a special legislative session within the next two months to implement a property tax reduction that Florida voters approved at the ballot box Tuesday evening.

DeSantis made the statement to reporters following the electoral win. The governor did not provide specific details about the timing or scope of the special session, but indicated it would be convened to put into law the tax cut measure that passed with voter approval.

The property tax reduction is likely to affect homeowners and property owners across Florida, including here in Northwest Florida. Implementation details — such as effective dates and how the cut will be administered — will likely be worked out during the special session.
