Summary Explanation/Background
A portion of the funding for fire services in the Broward Municipal Services District is generated through a non-ad valorem assessment collected on the property tax bill. The Fire Municipal Services Taxing Unit ordinance authorizing the assessment provides for adoption of a rate resolution prior to certification of proposed rates to the Property Appraiser for inclusion on the Notice of Proposed Property Taxes (TRIM Notice). Upon certification of the proposed rates to the Property Appraiser, the assessment rates can be reduced but not increased by the County Commission prior to adoption in September.
The recommended Fiscal Year 2023 budget will include approximately the same amount of non-ad valorem assessment revenue as generated in the prior Fiscal Year. The current adopted rates and proposed rates are presented in the chart below.
