Council Ponders Tax Increase
Planning Session Reviews Budget
The Fort Myers Beach Town Council, at its August 15 Management &
Planning Session, led by Council member Bruce Butcher, provided a
thorough review of the Town’s proposed 2019-20 Fiscal Year Budget.
Following this, Council member comments seem to indicate that they will
approve an Ad Valorem Property Tax increase during their September
Budget Hearings, raising the current .87 rate potentially to the .95
Truth In Millage (TRIM) figure set at the June 3, 2019 Meeting. Ad Valorem Property Taxes are based on $1 per $1,000 of property
valuation, meaning Fort Myers Beach residents currently pay 87 cents per
$1,000 that could increase to 95 cents per $1,000. Council FY19-20
Budget discussions are Mondays, September 9 & 23, at 5:01 p.m. For
example, the owner of a Fort Myers Beach house valued at $300,000 pays
the Town on the current .87 figure $261 in Property Taxes; the proposed
.95 rate would increase that to by $24 annually, to $285.
