Recommendation

End
Summary Explanation and Background:
1) Budget Office personnel will read into the record each taxing authority, the millage rate to be levied and the ad valorem revenue prior to the Board discussion and adoption of the millage.
In addition to Truth in Millage (TRIM) requirements, local governments must also conform to the maximum millage limitation requirements of Section 200.065(5), F.S. To calculate the maximum levies for counties, and independent special districts, the Florida Department of Revenue (DOR) has prescribed forms and instructions.
Attachment A outlines the voter-approved millages as tentatively adopted by the Board on September 10, 2025, as well as the DOR prescribed requirements for simple-majority, supermajority, and unanimous votes. The millage rates adopted by the Board will determine the amount of revenue to be allocated by the Board within those respective taxing districts.
2) Following the adoption of the individual millage rates, Budget Office personnel will read into the record the recomputed aggregate millage for FY 2025-2026.
3) After this announcement, Budget Office staff will read the resolution into the record so that the Board may adopt it.
Clerk to the Board Instructions:
Maintain necessary documents for records retention.
