# City of Dunedin Property Tax Town Hall Meeting October 6, 2026

The City of Dunedin held an informational property-tax town hall on October 6, 2026, focused on proposed Amendment 3 and its potential effects on local-government revenue and services. Panelists described the proposal to increase the homestead exemption to $150,000 in 2027 and $250,000 in 2028, with a CPI adjustment, and to reduce the cap on annual assessed-value increases for non-homestead properties. They discussed possible impacts on police, fire and EMS, parks, libraries, and community services, alongside concerns about service reductions or replacement revenue sources. Dunedin reported a 4.13 millage rate held steady for 11 years, average annual property-tax revenue to the city of $826 per homesteaded home, and approximately $500,000 in proposed budget reductions for the coming year.

The mayor said Dunedin’s $23 million City Hall project—including about $5 million for parking and related stormwater infrastructure—was funded through Penny for Pinellas revenue, with no property-tax funding. Speakers also cited rising equipment and operating costs, including fire-truck costs of roughly $1.1–$1.2 million, and discussed potential future fire assessments or other revenue changes if Amendment 3 passes. The meeting was educational; no procurement awards, purchasing approvals, or spending motions were identified, and no vote was taken.
