Homestead assessed values rise by up to 3% a year, the most Save Our Homes allows, but never above each home's 2026 just (market) value. 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 Palm Beach County's 37 cities, towns and villages, the Town of Gulf Stream has the third-smallest estimated percentage change in town ad valorem revenue by 2028. The estimated change is −0.7%. 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 Gulf Stream, homesteads make up 56.9% of taxable value in 2026, the fourth-highest share of the 37. Among the 37, the share ranges from 9.4% to 64.5%.
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 Gulf Stream has an assessed value of $1,797,254, the second-highest of the 37. By 2028, the new exemption is estimated to remove 1.2% of the town's homestead taxable value. Among the 37, this ranges from −2.2% to 99.1%.
Across the county, places where homesteads make up a larger share of taxable value generally have larger estimated percentage changes. Home values also play a part. Pahokee has the lowest median homestead assessed value; the exemption removes 96.2% of its homestead taxable value, and its estimated percentage change is the sixth-largest of the 37.

Estimates use homestead assessed values rising by up to 3% a year, capped at just value. Median town 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 Gulf Stream's adopted budget shows its full set of revenue sources and how much each provides.
Property values and exemptions: The Palm Beach County Property Appraiser's 2026 final tax roll, as published by the Florida Department of Revenue. Tax rates: the Property Appraiser's 2026 Taxing Authority Code Description and final millage rates. Parcel tax districts: the taxing authority 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 3.6724 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.
