The General Policy Committee will receive a presentation on the property tax constitutional amendment (CS/HJR 1-F) approved for the November 3, 2026 statewide ballot and its projected impact on the City of Gainesville.

Additionally, reducing the non-homestead assessment cap from 10% to 5% is estimated to cause a loss of $1.1 million in FY 2028. The next meeting is scheduled for July 23, 2026.
