What Amendment 3 does to Miami-Dade's tax base

Florida's Amendment 3 raises the non-school homestead exemption from $50,000 to $250,000. Every homesteaded property comes off the local tax base up to that new line — shrinking what each city can tax and forcing its operating millage to roll up just to collect the same dollars. These interactive 3D maps show, parcel by parcel, exactly how much of each city moves.

Taxable values from the Florida Department of Revenue certified tax roll; parcel outlines from the Miami-Dade County parcel map.  Built by BusinessFlare GIS.

How to read the maps

Each building is extruded by its taxable value per acre. Residential towers are stacked: a blue base of non-homestead value with a green cap of homestead value — and only the green is exposed to Amendment 3. Switch any map between taxable value and city taxes paid, and between today and the Amendment 3 roll-back scenario, to watch the base shrink and the rate climb.
