West Palm Beach Fort Pierce, FL, September 22, 2026 — Palm Beach County has introduced a new online tool to assist property owners in understanding the potential financial implications of a significant tax proposal. The Palm Beach County Property Appraiser’s office has launched an online calculator, made accessible through its official website.

The primary function of this calculator is to help homesteaded property owners estimate how Amendment 3, a property tax proposal slated for the upcoming November ballot, could affect their individual property tax bills. Additionally, the tool aims to provide an estimation of the potential impact on revenues for local governments within the county.

Amendment 3 is a ballot measure that seeks to alter property tax structures. As voters prepare to consider this proposal in the upcoming election, the county has provided this resource to offer greater transparency and aid in informed decision-making for residents. Homesteaded properties, which typically refer to primary residences, are often subject to specific tax considerations, and this calculator is designed with those owners in mind.

The online calculator is now available for public use on the Palm Beach County Property Appraiser’s website. Details regarding the specific methodology or data sources used by the calculator were not immediately available. The timing of the calculator’s launch is intended to provide residents with ample opportunity to explore its features before the November election.

This initiative by Palm Beach County reflects an effort to equip property owners with accessible information concerning potential changes to tax liabilities and local government funding. The calculator is presented as an informational resource, not as an official projection or guarantee of future tax amounts.
