City Commission - Sep 9, 2026
DeLand's proposed property tax rate of 6.1841 mills would fund next year's city services — police, fire, parks, roads and more. It's flat with this year but 2.70% above rolled-back, so most property owners' bills could tick up slightly. A second hearing on September 21 would finalize it.
