The City of Port St. Lucie held a special city council meeting on September 14, 2026, focused on the budget hearing for the fiscal year 2026-2027. The council reviewed and discussed the proposed budget totaling approximately $975.6 million, which includes a capital improvement program budget of over $229 million aimed at infrastructure projects such as roads and water systems. The city proposed a property tax millage rate of 4.8750 mills, representing a slight reduction from the previous year and continuing a trend of incremental tax rate decreases over the past 11 years. The budget supports essential city services including public safety, parks, and utilities, with an emphasis on maintaining affordability while addressing growth and infrastructure needs. The council voted to adopt the millage rate ordinance, the budget ordinance, and the capital improvement program resolution, thereby approving the financial plan and capital projects for the upcoming fiscal year.
