On Monday, July 27, 2026, the Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) held a budget workshop to review the tentative FY 2026-2027 budget and establish the maximum proposed millage rates. Based on the budget presented, the BOCC is advancing a structurally balanced budget which includes the sixth consecutive year of millage rate (property tax rate) reductions and second consecutive year of a total budget reduction. The tentative budget also includes the largest millage rate reduction in six years.
The tentative budget continues funding the critical Capital Improvement Plan, Pavement Management Plan, and Chip Seal Program, while also supporting critical public safety investments into the Nassau County Sheriff’s Office and Nassau County Fire Rescue.
Recognizing both the needs of today’s residents and future economic pressures, the tentative budget focuses on enhancing quality of life while working within the restricted and limited revenues of the County.
As one of the fastest-growing counties in Florida and the nation, Nassau County continues to experience an increasing demand for public services. Population growth has created a need for additional service capacity, while residents seek improvements to roads, parks, drainage infrastructure, and public safety. The tentative budget reflects the BOCC’s continued commitment to meeting these needs by supporting the Sheriff’s Office, Fire Rescue, Emergency Operations, and roads through the Pavement Management Program, Chip Seal Program, Drainage Ditch Maintenance Program, and the development and enhancement of parks and athletic facilities.
The BOCC’s ongoing involvement in the budget process, including its annual Winter Strategic Planning Sessions, and regular review of County policies, continues to guide responsible financial planning. These efforts support a transparent and results-driven budgeting process that prioritizes fiscal responsibility, reduced millage rates, and improved services for Nassau County residents.
Residents are encouraged to visit the County's Budget webpage at https://nassaufl.co/Budget to review budget workshop presentations, the tentative Fiscal Year 2026/2027 budget, prior years' adopted budgets, and other financial resources to stay informed throughout the budget process.
