Mon., July 17 at 9 a.m., the county administrator and Santa Rosa County Office of Management and Budget (OMB) will present the tentative fiscal year 2024 budget to the board of county commissioners in a budget workshop at the Administrative Complex, 6495 Caroline St. in Milton. An interactive agenda with backup supporting documents is available online. The workshop will be archived at that same link following the meeting as well as streamed live online.

Florida statutes require a tentative balanced budget delivered to the board by July 15. In September, the board will hold two public hearings for public input. The first hearing is for the tentative budget and proposed millage rate in conjunction with the municipal service benefit unit (MSBU) hearing. The millage rate and budget for the new year are adopted at the second public hearing.

In lieu of attending in-person, citizens may submit comments on individual agenda items in advance or bring forward issues to be shared during public forum by completing the public input form.

Santa Rosa County adheres to the American Disabilities Act and will make reasonable modifications and accommodations for access to these hearings upon request. Requests may be made to the county’s risk management department at 850-983-1863, TTY 711, or [email protected].
