Hillsborough County commissioners voted on June 3 to adopt the fiscal year 2027 solid waste rate resolution. The board described the increase as necessary to maintain current service levels, accommodate higher operating costs and to fund capital projects needed for safety. "A majority of commissioners voted to adopt the fiscal year 27 solid waste rate resolution and disposal services," Katie said in the meeting recap.
The meeting summary did not provide a detailed vote tally or specific new rates; the transcript states only that the increase will take effect in October and that adoption was by majority vote. The county also discussed a separate draft ordinance related to the senior citizen discount for the non ad valorem disposal assessment during the same session.
