The Florida Constitution limits the non -voted millage rate that counties may <br />levy on an annual basis for county purposes to 10 mills ($10 per $1,000 of taxable real and <br />personal property value). The millage limitation does not apply to taxes approved at <br />referendum by qualified electors in the county for general obligation bonds (such as the <br />Series 2024 Bonds) and for certain other voter approved levies. <br />Each respective millage rate, except as limited by law, is set on the basis of estimates <br />of revenue needs and the total taxable property values within the taxing authority's <br />respective jurisdiction.
