REVENUE SOURCE AUTHORIZED BY THE CONSTITUTION
General Information
The ability of local governments to raise revenue for governmental operations is
narrowly constrained by the State Constitution.
With the exception of the ad valorem tax and several constitutionally authorized
State shared revenue programs, local governments are dependent on the
Attachment: 2013-2014 Strategic Plan-Rev Sources (1362 : Revenue Source Options)
Legislature for the authority to levy any other forms of taxation, thereby
increasing the relative importance of the ad valorem tax.
Ad Valorem Tax
Increasing property values is the largest potential source of revenue to support
growth in service demands for most local governments.

County Furnishing Municipal Services
General law implements the constitutional provision authorizing a county
furnishing municipal services to levy additional taxes within the limits fixed for
municipal purposes via the establishment of municipal service taxing or benefit
units. The distinction between a municipal service taxing unit (MSTU) and a
municipal service benefit unit (MSBU) is that a MSTU is the correct terminology
when the mechanism used to fund the county services is derived through taxes
rather than service charges or special assessments (i.e., MSBU). The creation of
a MSTU allows the county’s governing body to place the burden of ad valorem
taxes upon property in a geographic area less than countywide to fund a
particular municipal-type service or services.
Florida Statutes prescribes that appropriation of no less than 95.0% of all receipts
reasonably anticipated being received from all sources, thereby establishing an
