佛罗里达州第3修正案减税冲击各市财政 公交图书馆等项目或被削减
11月3日中期选举中以62%支持率通过的第3修正案，将从明年起把自住房产税免税额提高到15万美元、2028年提高到25万美元，佛罗里达州各市政府正为此收紧预算。据《今日佛罗里达》11月12日报道，迈阿密-戴德县可能削减公交服务班次与线路，该县交通部门明年预计因此少收2700万美元；萨拉索塔县1100万美元的长船礁图书馆项目面临风险；圣约翰斯县1亿美元基建项目被搁置，包括一座规划中的消防站；朱庇特市2000多万美元的道路、社区中心改造与五座公园项目可能延期。据估算，全州各市在未来两个财年将合计损失130亿美元，多个城市已考虑冻结招聘、削减服务与推迟基建。州长德桑蒂斯表示正考虑在未来两个月内召开特别会议，落实修正案的执行细则。支持者认为，新规将迫使多年来因房价上涨而膨胀的地方政府瘦身；市政官员则表示，财政前景仍不明朗。
Florida's Amendment 3 Tax Cut Squeezes City Budgets; Transit and Library Projects Face Cuts
Amendment 3, passed with 62% support in the November 3 midterm elections, will raise the homestead property tax exemption to $150,000 starting next year and $250,000 in 2028, and Florida cities are tightening their budgets. According to a November 12 Florida Today report, Miami-Dade County may cut transit service frequencies and routes, with the county transportation department expecting to take in $27 million less next year as a result. Sarasota County's $11 million Longboat Key library project is at risk; St. Johns County has shelved $100 million in infrastructure projects, including a planned fire station; and the city of Jupiter may delay more than $20 million in road, community center and five park projects.
Statewide, cities are estimated to lose a combined $13 billion over the next two fiscal years, and many are considering hiring freezes, service cuts and postponed construction. Governor Ron DeSantis said he is considering calling a special session within the next two months to work out the amendment's implementation details. Supporters argue the new rules will force local governments, bloated by years of rising home prices, to slim down; city officials say the fiscal outlook remains uncertain.
