Fiscal Year 2027 Budget

FY 2027 Budget Calendar

FY 2027 Recommended Budget

On July 21, 2026, the St. Johns County Board of County Commissioners will be presented with the Fiscal Year 2027 Recommended Budget (per Florida Statute 129.03(3)), constructed through County Administration’s engagement with the Community and County Departments throughout the Fiscal Year 2027 Administrator’s Budget Workshop Sessions. The Board of County Commissioners will consider two motions (per Florida Statute 200.065):

  1. A motion to approve proposed millage rates necessary to fund the Fiscal Year 2027 tentative budget. These proposed millage rates are ceiling rates and may be decreased as part of the Commission’s September public hearings to adopt a Fiscal Year 2027 budget.
  2. A motion to authorize the completion and execution of the DR-420 (and any additional forms) with the proposed millage rates; and establish September 3, 2026 @ 5:01 PM, in the County Auditorium, as the First Public Hearing for the adoption of the St. Johns County Board of County Commissioners Fiscal Year 2027 Budget.

Once that information is received, the Property Appraiser mails the TRIM notice, in mid-August, to each property owner. The TRIM notice reflects the official Notice of Proposed Property Taxes. The TRIM Notice provides information on the proposed millage rates and estimated taxes for each individual St. Johns County taxing authority, including the County Commission, School Board, Municipalities, and other taxing districts. It also provides dates and times that each taxing authority will hold their public budget meeting.
