Is the renewal of the 1-mill a tax increase?
No. It is not an increase. It is a continuation.
The 1 mill is the same as what Duval County voters approved in 2022. If renewed, it would continue for another four years and help restore funding lost from other sources.
The 1 mill must be renewed by voters every four years to remain in effect.
