Homestead assessed values rise 3% a year, the most Save Our Homes allows. All other property stays at its 2026 taxable value. The town's tax rate stays at its final 2026 level. The gross levy is taxable value times the tax rate. The budget basis is 95% of the gross levy, which allows for early-payment discounts and unpaid taxes; see the limitations below.

Of Marion County's four cities and towns, the Town of McIntosh has the largest estimated percentage change in city ad valorem revenue by 2028. The estimated change is −36.0%. Two things determine its size.
How much of the town's taxable value comes from homesteads. The amendment changes the exemption only for homesteads. Property without a homestead exemption, such as rentals, businesses, second homes and vacant land, keeps its taxable value. In the Town of McIntosh, homesteads make up 43.5% of taxable value in 2026, the highest share of the four. Among the four, the share ranges from 19.3% to 43.5%.
How much of that homestead value the new exemption removes. Because the exemption is a flat dollar amount, it removes a larger share of value from homes with lower assessed values. The median homestead in the Town of McIntosh has an assessed value of $124,296, the lowest of the four. By 2028, the new exemption is estimated to remove 82.6% of the town's homestead taxable value. Among the four, this ranges from 72.5% to 90.9%.
Across the county, places where homesteads make up a larger share of taxable value generally have larger estimated percentage changes. Home values matter less at this level. McIntosh has the lowest median homestead assessed value, and the exemption removes 82.6% of its homestead taxable value, but because homesteads are 43.5% of its tax base, its estimated percentage change is the largest of the four.
| City or town | Homestead share of taxable value, 2026 | Median homestead assessed value | Homestead taxable value removed by 2028 | Estimated revenue change by 2028 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Town of McIntosh | 43.5% | $124,296 | 82.6% | −36.0% |
| City of Belleview | 29.2% | $149,931 | 90.9% | −26.5% |
| City of Ocala | 19.7% | $160,572 | 72.8% | −14.3% |
| City of Dunnellon | 19.3% | $144,304 | 72.5% | −14.0% |

Estimates use homestead assessed values rising 3% a year. Median city tax counts only the town's own millage, not county, school or other taxes.
Florida cities and towns also receive money from other sources. Depending on the place, these can include state revenue sharing, the local government half-cent sales tax, local option sales and fuel taxes, public service taxes on utilities, the communications services tax, franchise fees, charges for services such as utilities and permits, and state and federal grants. The mix differs from place to place. The Town of McIntosh's adopted budget shows its full set of revenue sources and how much each provides.
Property values and exemptions: The Marion County Property Appraiser's 2026 final tax roll, as published by the Florida Department of Revenue. Tax rates: the Property Appraiser's 2026 final millage rates, from its 2026 final roll certification. Parcel tax districts: the tax district codes on the same tax roll.
For each homestead, the estimated taxable value is its assessed value minus the new homestead exemption ($150,000 in 2027, $250,000 in 2028) and any other exemptions, but not less than zero. The gross levy is the town's total taxable value times 1.8525 mills. The budget basis is 95% of the gross levy, following section 200.065, Florida Statutes, and the Department of Revenue's 2026 TRIM Compliance Workbook. Early-payment discounts: section 197.162, Florida Statutes.
