The City of Jacksonville, Duval County is planning a referendum for qualified electors on November 3, 2026. This referendum will ask voters if they approve continuing the current one-mill ad valorem tax for school operational purposes for an additional four years, starting July 1, 2027, and ending June 30, 2031. This item has been approved by the City Council. The project involves the continuation of an existing tax for school operations, which does not directly set in motion site clearing, grading, utility work, paving, or vertical construction. The opportunity for local contractors, trades, suppliers, and service providers lies in supporting the ongoing operational needs of the school system that this tax revenue will fund. Reaching out to the School Board of Duval County, FL, early could provide insight into future needs and potential procurement opportunities as the tax continuation moves forward.

This change could lead to future development projects where private firms handle plan reviews. This opportunity would involve professional services related to plan review and approval processes.

The City of Jacksonville is considering changes to its Subdivision Regulations. This ordinance, case file 2026-0363-E, would create new definitions for "Private Provider" and "Private Provider Firm." It would also allow these private entities to review and approve subdivision plans, engineering plans, preliminary plats, plats, and landscaping plans. These items are currently reviewed by the Public Works Department or other city officials. This item is currently under review by the City Council and is planned for further action. This change could lead to work in site plan review, engineering design, and land surveying. Contractors and suppliers involved in site preparation, grading, utility work, paving, and landscaping may also see future opportunities as private providers begin to handle plan reviews. Local businesses that offer engineering, surveying, and related services should reach out early to understand how these new regulations might affect their ability to compete for work.
