PROFESSIONAL ANALYSIS
The combined millage of 8.6210 (7.4998 operating + 1.1212 debt service) governs all Lauderhill property tax assessments for FY 2025-26 beginning October 1, 2025. Real estate professionals underwriting acquisitions or refinances in Lauderhill should update pro forma tax projections to reflect this combined rate against current assessed values from the Broward County Property Appraiser. The debt service component at 1.1212 mills signals continued carry of bond or other long-term obligations, a factor relevant to municipal credit analysis and any developer negotiating impact fee or tax concession agreements with the city. Florida law (§200.065, F.S.) requires millage adoption by resolution or ordinance at a duly noticed public hearing, meaning this item is a final-approval action once passed. The Signal: Underwriters, lenders, and investors with Lauderhill exposure should immediately update tax projections to the 8.6210 combined mill rate for all FY 2025-26 cash-flow models.
