Residents in Oakland Park received some very good news. The Oakland Park City Commission recently adopted the 2024 fiscal year budget, which includes a decrease in Oakland Park’s millage rate from 5.8550 to 5.8362 mills. This is the City’s lowest millage rate in thirteen years and the ninth millage rate reduction in ten years. By reducing the millage rate nine of the past ten years, the City has saved taxpayers more than $13.3 million.The adopted budget of $142 million is Oakland Park’s largest and most ambitious budget ever. It includes over $26 million for Capital Improvement Projects to enhance the resiliency of the City’s infrastructure and the community, improve recreational opportunities for residents, beautify the City, and more. Including projects currently underway, the five-year Capital Improvement Program represents an investment of over $130 million.
