The 30-second read
Recorded outcomeThe commission enacted an ordinance to create a health care plan funded by a 0.25% health care surtax (an extra sales tax), pending voter approval in a referendum.
The Broward County Commission approved a 0.25% health care sales tax referendum for the November 2026 ballot and authorized $20 million for a new flood resilience program. Commissioners also debated funding for FIFA World Cup community events and approved various infrastructure and service contracts.
Why it matters
Residents will vote in November 2026 on a new 0.25% sales tax to fund a county-wide health care plan, while property owners and taxpayers are impacted by new flood resilience spending and land use decisions.
