The City of St. Augustine City Commission will hold a special meeting on Monday, February 23, at 3:30pm, in The Alcazar Room of City Hall, located at 75 King Street, to discuss the potential impacts of proposed property tax changes currently under consideration by the Florida Legislature.
The purpose of the meeting is for the commission to review how the proposed legislative changes could affect municipal revenues, city services, budgeting, and local taxpayers. Commissioners will receive an overview from city staff outlining fiscal projections and potential scenarios based on various legislative outcomes.
Property tax revenue plays a critical role in funding essential municipal services, including public safety, infrastructure maintenance, parks and recreation, and community programs. Any changes enacted at the state level could have significant implications for local government operations and service delivery.
“This discussion is an important opportunity for the Commission and the public to better understand how proposed state legislation could impact services we provide residents, businesses, and visitors,” said Mayor Nancy Sikes-Kline. “We encourage residents to attend in person or watch online if they can’t get to city hall.”
The meeting is open to the public and will be available for live viewing online or the next day on demand.
