4) Administration - Ballot Language for Existing Half-Cent Surtax Renewal

Commission Committee Meeting · 2026-06-09 · agenda_item

This item concerns the renewal of an existing half-cent sales tax. The Santa Rosa County Commission is considering approval of ballot language for this renewal. This tax is intended to fund projects related to roads and drainage. The commission will authorize the chairman to sign all necessary documents. This is an early stage in the public process, as the ballot language is under review. If approved, the renewal would continue funding for future road and drainage improvements. This could create opportunities for contractors involved in site preparation, grading, utility work, paving, and landscaping. Suppliers of construction materials and equipment may also find opportunities. Reaching out to the county early, before specific projects are defined and bid, could provide an advantage.
