3 ORANGE COUNTY, FLORIDA INTRODUCTION The Orange County Mayor and the Board of County Commissioners are pleased to present the proposed budget for fiscal year , encompassing the period beginning October 1, 2015 and ending September 30, This brochure is provided as a brief overview of the Orange County budget. Budget Overview For the fiscal year, all signs point to continued positive economic gains in Orange County. The estimated increase in countywide property values for the upcoming budget year is 12.0%, which follows an increase in the previous year of 7.2%. Rising property values are a result of the improving real estate market, as well as new construction in areas such as Medical City/Lake Nona, International Drive, and in and around the major theme parks. Additionally, record setting tourism numbers about 62 million visitors to Orange County in 2014 and a declining unemployment rate also signal improving economic health. For the 26th year in a row, Orange County will fund the budget without increasing the countywide property tax rate. The $3.6 billion budget for fiscal year is about $45 million less than the modified fiscal year budget, while still providing unchanged or improved levels of service and adding significant funding for infrastructure through Mayor Teresa Jacobs INVEST in Our Home for Life initiative (INVEST). INVEST is a multi-year plan, funded by leveraging existing sales tax collections, that will infuse an additional $300 million into building roadways, parks, fire stations, affordable housing, and other needed capital improvement projects. Major Revenue Sources Most of Orange County Government s major revenue sources are experiencing positive growth due to the improving economy. The proposed budget for county property taxes in fiscal year is $448 million. These funds will be used for an array of services and infrastructure improvements including law enforcement, public transportation, and parks and recreation programs to name a few. Sales tax continues to be a good news budget story. For fiscal year , half-cent sales tax revenue is budgeted at nearly $161 million, which is 4% more than the previous year. Since turning around from a low point of $113 million in fiscal year , collections have steadily increased each year due to the expanding local economy and increased tourism. The continuous improvement in this revenue source is a major reason why Orange County has been able to maintain or increase levels of service for citizens without raising tax rates. Just as they are impacting sales tax collections, the more than 62 million tourists now visiting Orange County each year are also boosting the tourist development tax collections. Revenue from the 6% tax on hotel rooms and other short-term rentals is budgeted at a record $216 million for fiscal year This is 5% more than the previous year budget. These collections are used to fund items such as the Orange County Convention Center, the construction and renovation of venues like the Amway Center, the Citrus Bowl, and the Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts, and the continued promotion of Orange County/Orlando as a premier tourist destination. Operating Budget The operating budget is where the rubber meets the road for Orange County Government 1
4 ORANGE COUNTY, FLORIDA services. Included in the operating budget is the funding for day-to-day services, programs, and personnel. The proposed budget is focused on providing necessary services at the level required by citizens while balancing these needs with available funding. A key component of the operating budget is funding for law enforcement. Each year, the independently elected Sheriff submits a funding request to the Board of County Commissioners. The requested amount included in the fiscal year budget is just below $208 million, a 4.8% increase over the previous year. The Sheriff indicates that this amount will allow for continued law enforcement services, twelve new positions, the deployment of 600 body worn cameras for deputies, and the annual lease purchase payment to replace an existing helicopter that is more than 40 years old. The operating budget also includes $141 million for the Fire Rescue department, a 10% decrease from the previous year budget. The majority of this funding comes from the Fire Rescue property tax levied against properties in the unincorporated areas of Orange County. The budget decrease is a result of new and replacement equipment expenditures being included in the INVEST initiative and the reduction of payments to the general fund for indirect services. Revenue from the Fire Rescue property tax still lags pre-recession levels, while population growth is creating new demands for service. The INVEST funding for additional fire stations and equipment is helping to bridge that gap. Additionally, the budget includes $41.4 million for Orange County s contribution to the LYNX transit service. This amount is 1.3% more than the fiscal year budget. LYNX budget increases for health insurance costs were mostly offset with savings resulting from the lower price of fuel. LYNX is taking steps to further reduce fuel costs by converting a significant portion of its bus fleet to run on compressed natural gas (CNG). Capital Projects The total proposed capital projects budget for fiscal year is $397 million, which includes funds for transportation, parks, public safety, utilities, and facilities projects. Included in that total is $49 million for the first year of the $300 million INVEST initiative. Please see page seven (7) of this brochure for a closer look at the INVEST program and the types of projects it will fund.

Please note that budget figures reflected in this brochure do not include municipalities, drainage districts, or the Orange County School Board, which are separate entities with their own budgets.

10 ORANGE COUNTY, FLORIDA Trim Notice QUESTIONS & ANSWERS The following are some common questions taxpayers ask upon receiving their TRIM (Truth in Millage) Notice from the Property Appraiser. 1. Are any of the tax rates (millages) changing? All millages under the control of the BCC are proposed to remain unchanged, except for two Lake District millages: Lake Killarney and Lake Mary. 2. Why is my property value assessment so high? The Property Appraiser is responsible for the assessment of property values. Properties are assessed by site visits, aerial photography, and/or information received from the Building and Zoning Divisions. The Board of County Commissioners has no input into the property appraisal process. Reasons for a large increase in assessments and/or taxable value: a) Neglected to file for homestead exemption with Property Appraiser. Filing dates are between January 1 and March 1 of each year. *Some people are not aware that exemptions are non-transferable. When an individual purchases a new or existing home, they must file for the exemption. b) New development in area/neighborhood has increased property values. c) Additions to home such as a pool, new room, etc. d) Completion of structure on previously vacant property. The first year a home is completed and placed on the tax roll will cause a significant increase in value over the value of the vacant lot. 3. What if I do not agree with the Property Appraiser s assessment of my property value? Property owners who are dissatisfied with the assessment of their property (after contacting the Property Appraiser s Office) may petition for adjustment to the Value Adjustment Board (VAB). Petitions for the VAB may be obtained from the Clerk of the VAB located at 201 S. Rosaline Avenue, 4th Floor, Orlando, FL You can also file online at The filing deadline for property valuation petitions and homestead exemption appeals is September 15, This means the original petition document must be filed with the Clerk of the VAB, , by 5:00 p.m. on that day. Hearings before the VAB will begin in late September or early October Property Appraiser s telephone listing: Customer Service

(e.g., 75 ORG HX) This is the exemption code. This code indicates the property owner has one or more exemptions in effect. Although there are numerous exemption codes, a few common ones are listed below for quick reference. For questions about these and other exemptions, please call the Property Appraiser at DX Disability Exemption HX Homestead Exemption LIS Limited Income Senior Exemption WR Widower Exemption WX Widow Exemption 6. What does non-ad valorem assessment mean and what does it include? Charges appearing in this section of the TRIM notice are compulsory levies imposed on certain properties to defray part or all of the cost of a specific improvement or service deemed to primarily benefit the properties. Such improvements or services include things like street-lighting, common area maintenance, paving, retention pond maintenance, etc. Charges are set by the Board of County Commissioners and are based on a set amount per lot or per foot rather than property value. 9
