Pasco County commissioners voted to adopt a 2.2674 mill levy for the fire rescue municipal service taxing unit (MSTU) during the final FY2027 hearing. Staff said the increase represents a 9.99% rise from the rollback rate and generates additional revenue to fund rescue operations that were previously supported by the general fund.
"The fire rescue MSDU fund has a recommended tax levy of 2.2674," Amy Farrell said while summarizing the reasons for the change. The board took public comment (none was offered) and approved the proposed rate by voice vote, recorded as 5–0.
Farrell said the additional MSTU revenue will be used specifically to fund rescue operations previously supported by general fund dollars; commissioners did not propose amendments at the hearing and directed staff to proceed with the adopted levy.
