TAMPA, Fla. - s4story -- Amendment 3 encourages snowbirds to establish full-time residency

New Florida residents, including snowbirds who are establishing full-time residency as a result of the recent passing of Amendment 3, may benefit from a state statute regarding the cost of same day windshield replacement. That's because vehicle owners who carry full coverage (comprehensive) insurance in Florida may pay as little as zero out of pocket for onsite windshield replacement from Same Day Windshields® and other service providers.

Amendment 3, which Florida voters passed on November 3, 2026, increases the state's homestead property tax exemption applicable to non-school property taxes. However, this exemption is only available to persons who establish permanent residence in Florida as of December 31, 2026. Those who establish residency after that date will have to wait five years to become eligible for the increased exemption.

The amendment's effect on same day windshield replacement involves providing evidence of Florida residency. This may include registering your vehicle in Florida and obtaining insurance coverage through a policy issued or delivered in Florida by an authorized insurer. Florida state statute 627.7288 requires insurers to waive the deductible for windshield damage to your vehicle.
