CS/SB 4-F — Property Tax Administration
by Appropriations Committee and Senators Avila, Bernard, and Mayfield
This summary is provided for information only and does not represent the opinion of any Senator, Senate Officer, or Senate Office.
Prepared by: Appropriations Committee (AP)
CS/SB 4-F amends the method used to determine the maximum millage rate that may be levied pursuant to a majority vote by a county, municipality, special district dependent to a county or municipality, municipal service taxing unit, or independent special district. Rather than the calculation under current law to determine the maximum millage rate, the bill requires local governments to use the rolled-back rate created to comply with notice requirements.
The bill allows a ballot summary to exceed the statutorily established 75-word limit if a joint resolution is proposing an amendment or revision to Article VII, sections 4, 6, and 9 of the State Constitution, which is to be submitted to the electors at the general election to be held on November 3, 2026.
If approved by the Governor, or allowed to become law without the Governor's signature, these provisions take effect upon becoming law.
Vote: Senate 30-8; House 75-27
