Baker County adopts final FY2024–25 budget and sets millage at 7.2916
Summary
The county commission adopted the final FY2024–25 budget of $58,780,867 and set the millage rate at 7.2916 (a 5.04% increase over the rollback rate), approving resolutions to levy ad valorem taxes and adopt the budget.
Baker County commissioners voted Sept. 24 to adopt the final fiscal year 2024–25 budget and set the county millage rate at 7.2916, representing a 5.04% increase over the rollback rate. County staff said the overall final budget totals $58,780,867 and provided line‑item figures for major funds, including general fund and public works.
The county manager stated the final millage (7.2916) remains the same as the current rate and described the rollback millage as 6.9415; by law the manager cited section 200.065 of the Florida Statutes and noted the percentage increase required to be stated publicly. After the required public hearings (no members of the public spoke), the commission approved the related resolutions to levy ad valorem taxes and adopt the final budget by roll‑call votes.
The manager summarized fund breakdowns: general fund and several enterprise and public works funds were included in the $58.78 million total. Commissioners said adopting the final millage will enable continued funding for essential services; staff will continue to provide required notices and implement the adopted budget.
