Join Manatee County for an interactive workshop designed to help residents better understand how the County budget works. Learn how millage rates are set, how property taxes are calculated and how funding decisions support the services our community relies on every day.

Participants will have the opportunity to engage directly with County staff, ask questions and take part in a live survey to see how their priorities for public services align with others in the community.
Whether you’re curious about the budget process or want to have a voice in shaping priorities, this workshop is a great place to start.
