- What is not claimed: this is an audited actuals page, not an adopted-budget page; no FY2025-26 adopted total is shown beyond the 7.9000 millage rate. The disaster-assistance budget exclusion is disclosed in the basis notice above.
- Jurisdiction palette: No verified Florida jurisdiction palette was on file, so this page uses the neutral Hometown Numbers dark-glass theme rather than a jurisdiction color.
