HB 4069 Florida House · 2026 Regular Session

Central Broward Water Control District, Broward County

HB 4069 revises the tax authority for the Central Broward Water Control District, allowing it to levy taxes only on land (not improvements) up to 5 mills per $1,000 of taxable property value. The bill sets a maximum tax rate at 5 mills annually unless the board of commissioners votes to reduce it, and requires taxes to be collected through Broward County's existing property tax system. This directly affects property owners within the district's boundaries by establishing a clear cap on potential tax increases. The changes update the district's tax procedures without altering who pays taxes or creating new revenue sources.
