Dunedin City Commission Adopts FY 2027 Millage Rate and Final Budget

DUNEDIN — The Dunedin City Commission adopted the Fiscal Year 2027 Final Millage Rate and Final Budget during its regular meeting on Thursday, September 17, 2026. This crucial vote finalized the city's financial plan for the upcoming fiscal year.

Commissioners addressed agenda item 3.b, which included two key resolutions. Resolution 26-14 established the FY 2027 Final Millage Rate, while Resolution 26-15 set the FY 2027 Final Operating and Capital Budget. City staff recommended the adoption of both resolutions.

The adoption of these resolutions determines how the city will fund its services and projects for the next fiscal year, directly impacting residents through property taxes and the allocation of resources for public services, infrastructure, and community programs. The budget outlines spending for everything from public safety to parks and recreation.

The process for developing the FY 2027 budget involved several steps, including the presentation of a tentative budget. The 'FY 2027 Tentative Budget (PDF) 08 24 26.pdf' was among the exhibits provided to the Commission for review, alongside 'Resolution 26-14 Final Millage Rate FY 27.pdf' and 'Resolution 26-15 Final Budget FY 27.pdf'.

With the final millage rate and budget now adopted, the city will proceed with implementing the financial plan for Fiscal Year 2027.
