Century Cancels Budget, Tax Hearing Due To Public Notice Error

October 4, 2022

Century’s new fiscal year started October 1, but they have not yet approved a budget or tax rate.

A final public hearing on the budget and millage rate set for Monday night was called off due to a public notice error. According to Town Clerk Leslie Howington, the numbers in a budget summary did not match the numbers in a public notice for the meeting.

The meeting will be rescheduled, but as of Monday night a new date and time had not been announced.

    Here’s a question to report later. What happens if a municipality fails to adopt a municipal budget? Does the prior years budget remain in effect for the next fiscal year until a new budget is adopted? Here’s a link that describes how it should be done: http://www.leg.state.fl.us/STATUTES/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&Search_String=&URL=0100-0199/0166/Sections/0166.241.html
