Board of County Commissioners (Final Budget) · 2026-09-21 · meeting
The Polk County Board of County Commissioners met on September 21, 2026, for a final budget public hearing covering the FY 26/27 budget and millage rates. The meeting focused on adopting the county's overall spending plan, including separate budgets for Parks, Library, Stormwater, and Rancho Bonito Municipal Service Taxing Units (MSTUs). No specific construction projects, sites, or development plans were on the agenda. The total tentative county budget is $3,911,064,517, with the Parks MSTU at $48,995,923, Library MSTU at $13,453,894, Stormwater MSTU at $17,238,517, and Rancho Bonito MSTU at $78,146. Local contractors, trades, suppliers, and service providers should view this as a chance to learn about county budget priorities and future contracting needs, not as a direct opportunity for immediate work.
