Santa Rosa County is considering the renewal of a one-half cent local government infrastructure sales surtax. This tax, which began in 2017 and was previously extended, is set to expire on December 31, 2026. The county is seeking voter approval in the November 3, 2026 election to continue the surtax for another five years. The funds generated are intended to support essential capital projects, including transportation, water quality, natural resource preservation, public safety, and parks and recreation infrastructure. This renewal is currently under review by the Board of County Commissioners and will be presented for public hearing on June 11, 2026. The project would involve ongoing funding for various infrastructure improvements over the next five years. Businesses involved in construction, engineering, and material supply for transportation, water systems, public safety facilities, and recreational areas may find opportunities as these projects are planned and implemented. Early engagement with county planning departments could provide insights into upcoming project timelines and scopes.
