The Florence Board of Mayor and Aldermen adopted a resolution on Sept. 2 setting the city's general fund tax levy for fiscal year ending Sept. 30, 2026, at 31.2 mills per $1.00 valuation, with 14.28% of that levy earmarked for debt service.
Mayor Trey Gunn opened a public hearing on the proposed budget and tax levies and invited public comment; no one spoke and the mayor closed the hearing before the board took the vote.
