City Commission Meeting — September 28, 2026
The city locked in its spending plan for the year ahead and set the tax rate: 7.3998 mills for operations and 0.9956 mills for debt service. Finance staff highlighted that Lauderhill has cut its millage rate more than any Broward city since 2020, even though individual tax bills have risen with property values.
City Commission Meeting — September 14, 2026
The city lowered its property tax rate to 7.3998 mills and passed a $214.9 million budget, but fees are rising elsewhere. A contentious sub-debate: commissioners are in line for a 7.8% raise (4% step plus CPI), which Commissioner Dunn opposed on the record, and the $215,000 nonprofit pool drew criticism for shorting senior, childcare, and domestic-violence organizations.
Budget Workshop — July 14, 2026
The city manager's proposed budget cuts the property tax rate by a tenth of a mill, raises water/sewer and fire fees 3.8%, and eliminates 16 administrative positions to close a $6.8 million gap. It's a lean budget with no service cuts planned — yet.
