Press Release

Good news, Nassau County residents. The Board of County Commissioners recently approved a tentative budget and millage rate that, if put in place, will reduce the millage rate for the fourth year in a row, while still maintaining a balanced budget that responsibly funds services and maintenance and invests in capital assets.
This, along with the updated study we commissioned, which you can read here, confirms that what the county commission has been doing is working.
Our county commissioners and staff deserve a lot of recognition for helping to get our county on the right fiscal path. Keep up the great work!
Keeping the county on the right path
A concerted effort has been made to shift historic development patterns to higher quality and more compact, mixed-use community developments, minimizing the impacts of inevitable population growth while encouraging the non-residential land uses and economic development that strengthens tax rolls. After many years of mismanagement, impact fees paid by builders have been right-sized. Fully funded capital improvement plans have been developed and executed, resulting in new fire houses, parks and infrastructure improvements across the county. Multi-year budgetary practices have also been implemented.
All of these initiatives have allowed the county to lower millage rates, attract private capital, increase our prosperity and put the county on a more fiscally sustainable path.
Citizens for a Better Nassau County recently commissioned real estate economics consulting firm RCLCO to update the study they did for us eight years ago.
