The Primary Election & property tax referendum - Tina G. Korn
Do you want to have a say in who the candidates are in the next Presidential Election?
The January 29th Primary election is your opportunity to make your vote count, if you
are a Republican or Democrat.
The homestead exemption referendum is also on the ballot. You do NOT
have to be a registered Democrat or Republican to vote on this referendum. The homestead
exemption is now $25,000. Passage of this referendum would double the
exemption to $50,000 on everything except school taxes. An important issue in
this referendum is the Property Tax Referendum, also known as
"portability." This would allow new homeowners
to transfer Save Our Homes tax savings when they move.
60% majority vote is needed to have this become law.
Palm Beach has about 781,000 registered voters. Early voting begins January 14th
and absentee voters have until January 23rd to request mail ballots.
