St. Pete Beach keeps 2026 millage rate; most residents should see small ad valorem tax decrease, mayor says

Mayor Adrian Petrella said the City of St. Pete Beach will keep the same millage rate for 2026 and that most residents should see a small decrease in their ad valorem taxes as the city finalizes its budget. "Even though the city's had an enormous amount of additional expenses because of the hurricanes that we had last year, we were able to maintain the same millage rate for this year," Petrella said.
