Apopka Votes on Tax Hike to Fix Budget | Orlando News
Description
Apopka city commissioners are poised to vote on a proposed 5.1 mill property tax rate to plug a growing budget gap — but it’s just a ceiling, with room to lower it before final approval in September. One commissioner, Nadia Anderson, opposes the hike, arguing residents are already burdened by rising costs. Meanwhile, state leaders push for statewide tax cuts, while city officials warn that property tax revenue is vital for police, fire, and infrastructure — or else they’ll face steep cuts or higher fees for services. The vote Tuesday could set the stage for the highest possible rate — but not the final one.
