Adoption of fiscal year 2026 budget
What the county recorded
This item is not from the published agenda
It is a stretch of the recording that this archive identified as a separate matter — a call to order, a recess, or something taken up that the agenda does not list. There is no official title, no staff recommendation and no disposition, because the county never recorded one. Everything below is inferred.

I will now provide a summary of the remainder of the budget. If you refer to table two in your handout, you will see the revenue sources and allocations identified by type without regard to individual funds as stated. Prior to any action taken by the board tonight, the budget total $2,243,769,298 net of interfund transfers. I would ask the board to accept public comment, then vote on the budget. There is no vote requirement for the budget, so a simple majority or three votes is needed.
All right, we will now accept public comment on the budget.
I see no one. I will entertain a motion. Do we
want to have anyone on WebEx?

The actions you have taken today have set the final aggregate millage at 9.8433 mills, which reflects an increase of 1.11% above the rolledback rate. I will now read the resolution adopting the millage rates by title only. A resolution of the Board of County Commissioners of Pasco County, Florida, adopting the final levying of ad valorem taxes for Pasco County for fiscal year 2026, providing for an effective date. Right.
