Yesterday, as anticipated, the commission reversed their July 22 vote to increase the millage rate 11.5%, voting to keep the rate constant at 4.0923. Based on increases in taxable valuations from the Orange County Appraiser, this means homestead property will see a typical increase of 2.3% and non-homestead property will see a 10% increase with the unchanged millage rate. Mayor Leary proposed lowering the millage rate to keep property tax revenue the same as 2020 which died for lack of a second. I am taking down my "Stop Winter Park Tax Increases" sign and putting it in the garage in the event the commission needs a reminder next year. Regards, Pete
