AI Summary

  • Amends s. 200.065, F.S., to change the rolled-back rate calculation so that it is inclusive of new construction, additions, deletions, and other property value changes, rather than exclusive of them as under current law
  • Caps the maximum millage rate that counties, municipalities, special districts, municipal service taxing units, and independent special districts may levy at 102 percent of the rolled-back rate
  • Prohibits taxing authorities from adopting a higher millage rate, eliminating the existing provisions that allowed rates up to 110% with a two-thirds vote or above 110% with a unanimous vote or referendum
  • Removes the existing flexibility that allowed individual millage rates to exceed the maximum as long as total county or municipal ad valorem taxes stayed within limits
  • Requires any ad valorem revenues collected in excess of 102 percent of the rolled-back rate to be returned to taxpayers on a prorated basis or used to pay down debt
  • Effective date is July 1, 2025
