St. Pete Beach adopts FY2027 millage rate unchanged at 3.0757 mills

The St. Pete Beach City Commission adopted Ordinance 2026‑9 on second and final reading, setting the fiscal year 2027 millage rate at 3.0757 mills per $1,000 of taxable value, equal to the rolled‑back rate. City attorneys explained a recent state statutory change affecting rollback-rate calculations and the voting thresholds required to adopt rates that exceed rollback levels.

City staff noted the levied rate is identical to the rollback rate for FY2027; the clerk recorded unanimous support for the ordinance. "The fiscal year 2027 millage rate of 3.0757 mills is equal to the rolled back rate and represents a 0.00% increase over the roll back rate," the ordinance states. The adoption fulfills the statutory requirement that millage be voted on separately before the budget is adopted.
