STUART — Martin County residents will have an opportunity to weigh in on the county’s proposed millage rate during the first of two public hearings Tuesday, Sept. 15.
The Martin County Board of County Commissioners will hold the hearing at 5:05 p.m. in the Commission Chambers on the first floor of the Administration Building, 2401 S.E. Monterey Road, Stuart.
The Martin County Taxpayers Association is encouraging residents to attend, particularly those who want commissioners to consider rolling back the millage rate rather than keeping it at last year’s level.
The association noted that keeping the same millage rate can still result in higher tax revenue when property values increase.
Residents who wish to address commissioners will need to complete a speaker form and are encouraged to arrive early.
Overflow parking is available at the Blake Library parking lot.
The Sept. 15 meeting is the first of two public hearings on the millage rate for the next fiscal year.
