Okaloosa County commissioners held a July 21, 2026 budget workshop that included departmental budget presentations (public safety, EMS, corrections, elections, property appraiser, clerk, public defender and state attorney items), a prolonged discussion about county funding for school resource officers (SROs), and adoption of tentative millage rates after a motion debate. The board set the tentative county millage at 3.8308 mills (aggregate 3.9615) and the MSTU at 0.2880; a separate proposal to immediately remove $4.25M in SRO funding from the draft budget was proposed but not adopted.
