Indian River Shores adopts 1.281-mill property tax rate and final 2025–26 budget
Summary
At a Sept. 23 public budget meeting, the Town of Indian River Shores unanimously adopted a 1.281 mills property tax levy and approved its final budget for fiscal year 2025–26, including specific allocations for roads, solid waste and planning funds.
The Town of Indian River Shores adopted a final millage rate of 1.281 mills and approved its fiscal year 2025–26 budget at a public budget meeting on Sept. 23, 2025.
Town officials said the proposed millage of 1.281 per $1,000 is necessary to fund the expenses included in the budget and is 4.51% higher than the rollback rate of 1.2257. The council approved Resolution 25-11 to levy ad valorem taxes at 1.281 mills and approved Resolution 25-12 to adopt the final budget for the fiscal year beginning Oct. 1, 2025 and ending Sept. 30, 2026; both measures passed unanimously on roll call votes.
The meeting record shows the proposed general fund budget read during the session as "10,000,430 $430,738," which the council stated is 3.77% lower than the prior year. Other fund amounts read into the record included: roads and off-site drainage fund $114,200; solid waste and special assessment fund $337,329; and planning, zoning and building fund $955,876.
There was no public comment recorded on the proposed millage or budget. After the town attorney read the resolutions, councilmembers moved, seconded and voted on each item by roll call. Mayor Foley, Vice Mayor Atwater, Council member Carroll, Council member Altieri and Council member Dane each voted yes on both measures; the minutes show the motions passed unanimously.
Both resolutions provide for an effective date, but the transcript does not specify the effective date read into the record. The council gave no additional directions to staff during the meeting and did not amend the proposed figures during the session.
The approvals finalize the town's spending plan and property tax levy for the coming fiscal year; further implementation details and any required filings with county or state agencies were not discussed during the meeting.
