Board of County Commissioners Fire Protection Preliminary Budget Hearing - July 22, 2026

The Citrus County Board of County Commissioners held a preliminary budget hearing on July 22, 2026, for the Fire Protection Special District. During the meeting, it was noted that the district, which includes the city of Inverness, currently does not levy any millage for fire protection services. The board recommended continuing this approach with no millage levy for the upcoming budget period. After opening the floor to the public with no comments, the board voted to set the fire protection millage rate at 0.0000, with a motion made by Commissioner Kennard and seconded by Commissioner Barrick, which was approved unanimously.
