# Coral Springs: Property Tax Amendment Discussion Public Forum - 10/9/26

Coral Springs public forum on proposed Amendment 3, held October 9, 2026, focused on how property taxes fund city services and the potential budget effects of the amendment. Staff said the city receives about 29.8% of property-tax dollars shown on residents’ bills, and estimated that the proposal could reduce city ad valorem revenue by approximately $14.5 million in its first year and $26.9 million in its second year. The city would need to balance those losses through some combination of revenue increases and service or expense reductions. Possible revenue approaches discussed included millage-rate adjustments, user fees, special assessments, facility rental charges, grants, and public-private partnerships or naming rights. The city also noted a roughly $250,000 annual business-incentive allocation. No contracts were awarded and no spending or procurement motions were made.

Residents’ polling identified public safety and emergency services, streets/infrastructure and resiliency, and parks and recreation as leading priorities. Staff discussed capital and maintenance needs—including stormwater work, flood mitigation, facility upkeep, and park-field improvements—and said public feedback would inform future strategic planning and budget discussions. The forum was informational; the city did not take a position on how residents should vote, and no procurement decisions were approved. Grant funding and partnerships were described as existing or potential ways to support services and projects, not as specific solicitations or awards.
