Coconut Creek homeowners may not see an increase in the millage rate, but they will see increases in their fire assessment and solid waste removal fees.
During the June 25 meeting, City Manager Sheila Rose presented a recommendation to keep the millage rate of 6.8988 unchanged from last year. This will provide funding for the fire station project and other financial commitments, according to Rose.
The taxable value of property in Coconut Creek is $6.8 billion, and the city expects to receive an additional $2.3 million in property taxes next fiscal year, according to Rose.
The fire rescue assessment will increase by about 10 percent, and the average homeowner will see an increase from $333.26 to $366.59, according to Rose. The solid waste assessment will be $493.24, an increase of $166.70 to cover the cost of the new contract.
“We will continue to work on strategies to reduce spending, and that will be presented in phases over the next year or more,” said Rose.
The city will hold a budget workshop on August 13 at 11:00 a.m., focusing on the Fiscal Year 2026-27 budget.
