Hardee County proposes 7.9200-mill rate, schedules two budget hearings
Summary
County staff proposed a 7.9200 mills rate for FY 2026–27 — 4.87% above the rollback rate — and scheduled two public hearings for Sept. 8 and Sept. 22; the board adopted the resolution to set hearings unanimously.
Budget manager Diane Moore told commissioners that the certified taxable value from the property appraiser had been delivered and that staff proposes a millage rate of 7.9200 mills per $1,000 of assessed value. "The proposed millage rate is 7.9200 mills or 4.87% higher than the rollback rate," Moore said, reading the figures into the record. She said the board must set two public hearings and provide a certified copy of the resolution to the property appraiser.
Commissioners recalled an extensive budget discussion from the prior day and had no additional public comment; a commissioner moved to approve Resolution 2026-41 to set the proposed millage and the hearing dates (Sept. 8 and Sept. 22 at 5:05 p.m.). The motion passed unanimously.
