In a move likely to lighten the load for thousands of retirees in Florida, the state has introduced a new COLA to its property tax exemptions to help seniors cope with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/24/06/39229358/u-s-home-prices-surge-50-jump-in-five-years">rising housing costs</a>.&nbsp;
Currently, eligible homeowners receive two $25,000 exemptions, reducing the taxable value of their primary residence by up to $50,000. With this amendment, the second $25,000 exemption will now grow yearly to mirror inflation – much like Social Security's COLA increase.&nbsp;

<li>This company is giving accredited investors an opportunity to invest in this $2 billion fund, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/ignite-funding">with three decades in business they boast an impressive track record of double-digit returns.</a></li>
</ul>
For retirees feeling the pinch of inflated grocery, health care and utility costs, this tweak could mean real savings that help make ends meet.
Beginning Jan. 1, 2025, Florida&#8217;s homestead exemption – a property tax break on primary homes – will include an inflation-linked increase. In effect, the state will adjust part of the exemption amount annually to keep up with inflation, much like Social Security annually receives a COLA boost.&nbsp;
Trending: During market downturns, investors are learning that unlike equities, these<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/connect-invest-real-estate-notes"> high-yield real estate notes that pay 7.5% &#8211; 9% are protected by resilient assets, buffering against losses.</a>
By pegging this exemption to inflation, retirees will be protected against property tax increases, which can otherwise eat away at home equity and monthly budgets. The impact of such a policy can be huge. For example, the income limits for eligibility to exemptions rose 4.1% in 2024, widening the reach of the benefit and bringing more retirees under its umbrella.&nbsp;
Supporters see the amendment as a lifeline, especially in a state like Florida, where retirees comprise a significant portion of the population.&nbsp;
The passage of Amendment No. 5 was fueled in part by Florida's rapidly increasing housing costs. Housing prices in the state have shot up in recent years and property taxes that match these prices can quickly become untenable for those on fixed incomes.

On the flip side, not all Florida residents stand to benefit. Property tax relief remains out of reach for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/24/09/40669305/your-landlord-might-be-raising-rent-using-algorithms-and-kamala-harris-plans-to-ban-it-will-she-succ">landlords</a>, for instance, who don't qualify for the exemption. Moreover, some experts fear that as property tax revenue dips, the financial burden might eventually be shifted to nonexempt residents.
Florida's homestead exemption only applies to primary residences, meaning a property must serve as a person's permanent home to qualify for this exemption.&nbsp;
Amendment No. 5 includes a carve-out for schools, ensuring they won't see a dip in property tax revenue due to the new policy. However, all other local governments, such as fire departments and utilities, may need to make up for the shortfall in other ways.

<h3>Why Pay Attention to Insider Transactions</h3>
Insider transactions, although significant, should be considered within the larger context of market analysis and trends.
Considering the legal perspective, an "insider" is defined as any officer, director, or beneficial owner holding more than ten percent of a company's equity securities, according to Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This includes executives in the c-suite and major hedge funds. These insiders are mandated to disclose their transactions through a Form 4 filing, to be submitted within two business days of the transaction.
Pointing towards optimism, a company insider's new purchase signals their positive anticipation for the stock to rise.
Nevertheless, insider sells may not necessarily indicate a bearish view and can be influenced by various factors.
<h3>Breaking Down the Significance of Transaction Codes</h3>
Navigating through the landscape of transactions, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/investing-tools">investors</a> often prioritize those unfolding in the open market, precisely detailed in Table I of the Form 4 filing. A P in Box 3 denotes a purchase, while S signifies a sale. Transaction code C signals the conversion of an option, and transaction code A denotes a grant, award, or other acquisition of securities from the company.
