City of Bristol, Florida

Unofficial demonstration dashboard for the City of Bristol, Florida, built from the city’s Final Millage and Budget Hearing agenda packet of September 22, 2025.

Basis — read this first: every figure on this page comes from the City of Bristol Final Millage and Budget Hearing agenda packet, Monday, September 22, 2025 (TownCloud, Bristol, FL). Headline: the proposed operating budget for FY2025/2026 announced at the hearing is $16,154,978, and the hearing’s business included adopting Final Budget Resolution No. 2025-09. Flag, stated plainly: the packet labels $16,154,978 as the proposed operating budget and does not restate a different final total in the packet text; this page reports the packet’s figure with that label intact rather than presenting it as a separately confirmed final total. Final millage: Resolution 2025-07/2025-08 — a tentative 8.5569 mills less a 2.0002-mill fire-surtax reduction, for an adjusted 6.5567 mills; rolled-back rate 6.3156 (+3.82%).

Overview

At its final millage and budget hearing on September 22, 2025, the City of Bristol, Liberty County, Florida, took up a proposed operating budget for FY2025/2026 of $16,154,978 — less than last year’s operating budget, as the packet notes — and Final Budget Resolution No. 2025-09 adopting a final budget for FY2025-2026. On millage, the city proposed a tentative 8.5569 mills, then reduced the ad valorem levy by 2.0002 mills (a $66,001 reduction) to reflect the estimated 1/2-cent fire services surtax proceeds of $66,000, for an adjusted rate of 6.5567 mills against a rolled-back rate of 6.3156.

Sources & notes

  • Only source used: City of Bristol, Final Millage and Budget Hearing agenda packet, September 22, 2025 (TownCloud). Final Millage and Budget Hearing packet (Bristol, FL). Jurisdiction verified in the document itself: City of Bristol, Liberty County, Florida, 12444 NW Virginia G Weaver Street, Bristol, FL 32321.
  • Sum checks: millage arithmetic as printed: 8.5569 − 2.0002 = 6.5567 mills. No additive budget components are printed in the packet, so no budget sum check is available.
  • What is not claimed: the $16,154,978 figure is the packet’s proposed operating budget, not a separately confirmed final-adopted total (see basis notice). No fund split is shown.
  • 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.
