“Property taxes are local, not state. So we’d need to do a constitutional amendment (requires 60% of voters to approve) to eliminate them (which I would support) or even to reform/lower them… We should put the boldest amendment on the ballot that has a chance of getting that 60%…,“ DeSantis wrote in a Post on X on Friday.

The 2024 law is similar to a law Pritzker signed in 2019 creating a property tax relief task force. The report that resulted recommended reforming the assessment process, reorganizing school funding and other measures, but didn’t call for ending the state’s property tax system that dates to the early 1900s.
