Fort Lauderdale Budget Approved | Miami News
Fort Lauderdale just approved a massive $1.28 billion budget while keeping property taxes flat for 19 years — yes, really. After trimming $12 million in spending, the city secured the vote with four commissioners saying yes, including Mayor Dean Trantalis and Vice Mayor Ben Sorensen — though one commissioner, John Herbst, wanted to slash rates. The millage rate stays at $4.1193 per $1,000 of home value, and fire fees remain at $444 per residence. Best part? This funding finally clears the way for a new fire station in Flagler Village — proving the city’s investing in safety even as taxes stay steady.
