Property Tax Alert: Florida

October 2004

Local governments that are finalizing their 2004-2005 budgets and their 2005 Florida property tax rates are allowed flexibility when scheduling public hearings on property tax millage rates and proposed budgets. Local governments are allowed to reschedule tentative or final property tax millage or budget hearings if the hearings could not be held at the time and place indicated on the notices of proposed property taxes mailed to taxpayers due to Hurricanes Charley or Frances. Certain legal requirements regarding the timing of final millage and budget hearings are suspended for 60 days in order to provide the necessary flexibility.
