summary
Summary Explanation/Background:
Pursuant to State Statute 200.065, taxing authorities are required to adopt fiscal year tentative and final millage rates and a citywide budget at the first and final public hearings. At the public budget hearings, the rolled-back rate, the percentage of increase over the rolled-back rate, and the millage rate to be levied must be publicly read.
The proposed General Fund Operating Millage Rate for FY 2027 is 5.1920, representing a decrease of 0.5% compared to the FY 2026 adopted Operating Millage Rate of 5.2181.
The voted 2018 Series Debt Service Millage Rate for FY 2027 is 0.2464, representing a 6.4% decrease compared to the FY 2026 adopted Debt Service Millage Rate of 0.2632.
The voted 2021 Series Debt Service Millage Rate for FY 2027 is 0.1679, representing a 6.5% decrease compared to the FY 2026 adopted Debt Service Millage Rate of 0.1795.
Calculation of increase compared to the Rolled-Back Rate:
[(current year aggregate millage rate ÷ current year aggregate rolled-back rate) - 1.00] x 100
current year aggregate millage rate: 5.1920+0.5000 =5.6920
[(5.6920/5.4949) - 1.00] x 100 = 3.59%
The City’s FY 2027 Recommended Budget books are published on the City’s Budget Office webpage: https://www.pompanobeachfl.gov/government/budget.
Per State Statute, the FY 2027 Adopted Budget will be published on the City’s Budget Office webpage https://www.pompanobeachfl.gov/government/budget within 30 days of its final adoption.
