FY2027 Draft Budget Workshop · 2026-06-29 · agenda_packet

The Santa Rosa County Board of County Commissioners held a budget workshop and public hearing on June 29, 2026. A key item was the renewal of the Six Cent Local Option Gas Tax. This tax, originally adopted in 1986 and previously renewed in 1995, 2006, and 2016, funds road and bridge operations. The proposed renewal is for a period of ten (10) years and four (4) months, effective September 1, 2026, and expiring December 31, 2036. The ordinance allows for potential repeal by the Board on December 31 of any year, preventing municipalities or other governmental bodies from bonding against its receipts. Proceeds are distributed among Santa Rosa County, the City of Milton, the City of Gulf Breeze, and the Town of Jay. The document also mentions a FY2027 Draft Budget presentation and board direction, but no specific details or decisions are provided for these items.
