Fort Myers residents face potential property tax changes on Nov 3
By Local Fort Myers news desk
A proposed constitutional amendment on the Nov. 3 general election ballot could change how property taxes are applied to homesteads and city services are funded in Fort Myers.
The City of Fort Myers estimates the amendment would reduce its tax base and result in annual property tax revenue losses if approved.
Property taxes fund nearly 48% of the City's General Fund, including essential services like police and fire departments.
The City encourages residents to stay informed about the potential impacts on property taxes and community services.
