City Commission (Work) - Jul 28, 2026
The city is proposing to raise the property tax rate from 7.4 to 8.4 mills — the first increase since 2021. For the average homesteaded home, that's about $171 more a year. Officials say it's needed to balance the budget without touching reserves.

Agenda Review Workshop - Jul 27, 2026
The proposed property tax rate would rise one mil above the current 7.4, costing homesteaded residents about $70 more per year on average. Tuesday's vote sets the ceiling — September hearings can lower it but not raise it.
City Commission (Regular) - Jul 14, 2026
The city is staring at a $9.5 million general fund gap and shortfalls in fire, stormwater, solid waste, and water control funds. A November ballot initiative could cut city property tax revenue by millions, and millage options from 7.4 to 8.4 are on the table for July 28.
