Top Achievements in FY2025

Office of Management & Budget​

The financial management strategy for Broward County is based on principles of financial stability, multi-year planning and responsible stewardship.

• FY 2025 adopted budget totaled $7.8 billion.
• About half of the County's General Fund budget is allocated to the Constitutional Offices, primarily the Broward Sheriff's Office, Tax Collector, Property Appraiser and Supervisor of Elections. The remainder funds the operations of more than 60 County agencies. The Airport, Port, Water Wastewater and other enterprise activities do not use General Fund dollars to operate.
• The General Fund budget of $1.9 billion is primarily supported by property taxes ($1.6 billion). Broward County property taxes consist of less than one-quarter (25%) of a resident's overall tax bill, which also includes the school district taxes (32%), city taxes (26%) and special taxing districts (17%).
• There has been no increase in the overall Broward County millage rate (property tax) for more than a decade.
• Created this easy-to-follow budget brochure for FY2026.
