Florida Passed Its Property Tax Cut With 157,000 Votes to Spare. Wyoming and Oklahoma Said No, and Washington Kept Its Millionaires' Tax.

Florida voters approved Amendment 3, which raises the homestead exemption for local non-school taxes to $250,000 by 2028, with about 62 per cent of the vote against a 60 per cent threshold. Property tax cuts failed in Wyoming and Oklahoma, and a repeal of Washington's tax on income above $1 million was losing. Colorado's graduated income tax was still too close to call.

Florida Votes on Cutting Local Property Taxes by $11.8 Billion a Year. Five Counties Account for 45 Per Cent of It.

Florida's Amendment 3 would cut non-school property taxes on homesteads by an estimated $11.8 billion a year once fully in effect, according to the state's Revenue Estimating Conference. It needs 60 per cent of the vote on Tuesday. Voters in Oklahoma, Wyoming and North Carolina are deciding their own property tax measures; none of the four results is known yet.
