FEDC’s Statement of Opposition to Amendment 3
Florida continues to attract talent, businesses, and investment—and that growth creates demands of its own. Much of Florida’s success stems from the combined efforts of industry, education, and government to provide the community assets and public infrastructure essential to business investment and job creation.
Amendment 3 would erode the revenue structure supporting Florida’s counties and municipalities, creating uncertainty and disrupting the public-private model that has helped drive our state’s economic success. That model enables critical investments in transportation infrastructure, placemaking, and the creation of high-quality jobs that provide sustainable wages for Florida families.
The Florida Economic Development Council supports thoughtful property-tax reform that delivers meaningful relief to Florida homeowners while preserving communities’ ability to attract capital and talent, provide essential services, and sustain vibrant local economies. Amendment 3, as currently structured, does not achieve that necessary balance.
