Jupiter Inlet Colony sets proposed millage and schedule for budget hearings
Summary
The commission approved a statutorily required resolution proposing a 5.56‑mill rate, identified a rollback rate of 5.309 mills, and scheduled two budget hearings (Sept. 14 and Sept. 22) plus an Aug. 24 workshop; staff warned adoption requires four commissioners present on Sept. 22.
The Town Commission reviewed and approved a resolution establishing the proposed millage rate, the rollback calculation and the dates, times and locations for the first and second public budget hearings for fiscal year 2026–27. Staff presented Palm Beach County's assessed valuation of approximately "730,000,737 and $89" for the town and explained the effect of Florida's 'save our homes' caps on individual tax bills.
Staff described the proposed millage as 5.56 mills and the mathematically computed rollback rate as 5.309 mills, and noted statutory and county deadlines that require public notice and scheduling. The manager told the commission the 2026 first budget hearing will be held at 6 p.m. on Sept. 14 at the Beach Club and the second hearing at 5:30 p.m. on Sept. 22 at Town Hall; a budget workshop is scheduled for Aug. 24. Staff also flagged a change in state law that means adoption of the proposed millage will require a 0.667 vote (four commissioners) and asked members to confirm availability for Sept. 22.
A commissioner moved to approve the resolution (Res. 2026‑09) and the motion received a second; the commission proceeded with the resolution as presented. Staff offered to answer follow‑up questions and to amend public notices if commissioner availability changes.
