TRIM requires two public hearings from open discussion of millage rates and budgets of taxing authorities.  The first substantive issue discussed by the governing body of taxing authority is the percentage increase or decrease in millage over the rolled-back rate necessary to fund the budget, if any, and the specific purposes for which ad valorem tax revenues, are being increased or decreased.  The general public is allowed to speak and ask questions prior to the adoption of any measures by the governing body.  The millage rate is adopted first and the budget is adopted second.  The total mill levy for the fiscal year 2020-2021 is 6.889 which is 2.44 percent more than the rolled-back rate.

N/A

2020-2021 budget and millage rates will be approved and executed in accordance with Florida Statutes.

The district ensures fiscal responsibility and equitable distribution of resources.
