Who we are
The American Flood Coalition is a nonpartisan, member-driven coalition committed to driving
transformational adaptation that protects communities from higher seas, stronger storms, and more
frequent flooding. We have over 450 members across more than 20 states.
We’ve also recognized more than 50 bipartisan members of Congress from 18 states as Federal
Champions for their leadership, public service, and commitment to proactive flood solutions.
What we do
We work at the local, state, and federal levels of government to scale solutions to tackle the country’s
toughest flood challenges.
Local
We work directly with communities on the ground to:
• Understand their challenges and connect leaders to solutions.
• Scale innovative flood solutions and elevate local insights.
• Create and expand access to resources to empower local leaders.
State
With expertise in flood policy, we bring together state leaders and implementers to advance flood
resilience, deepen knowledge, share best practices, and explore innovative solutions. To help states
address their most pressing challenges, we provide state officials with:
• Policy research to inform legislative solutions.
• Tailored recommendations to find the right solution for each region.
• State-by-state comparisons to guide the implementation of policy.
Federal
We work to transform federal adaptation policy to help communities prepare for disasters and recover
stronger in their wake. Through our bipartisan work in Congress and with federal agencies, we fight for:
• Fixing federal data: Drive smarter infrastructure investments with updated
and forward-looking data.
• Protecting communities: Untangle federal programs to ensure taxpayer
dollars get out the door faster and go further.
• Empowering state leadership: Unlock proactive strategies to tackle flooding
statewide.
• Defending national security: Ensure military readiness for flooding so service
members can train and deploy 365 days a year.

MEETING DATE: July 13, 2026
AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Resolution 2026-09 – Establishing the proposed maximum millage
rate, establishing the “rolled-back” rate and setting the dates,
times, and location for the first and second Budget Hearings for FY
2026-2027.
AGENDA ITEM
Town Manager
SPONSOR:
AGENDA ITEM The procedures and timetables for taxation and the establishment
SUMMARY: of the Town budget are governed by a series of rules of both the State
of Florida and Palm Beach County. These rules are generally referred
to as TRIM (Truth in Millage) rules. This resolution deals with two (2)
important TRIM rules – establishment of the maximum millage rate
and scheduling of formal budget public hearings.
Maximum Millage Rate: A primary source of revenue for municipal
government is the property or ad valorem tax base. Due to the
unique nature of the Town, the Town relies exclusively on residential
real property for its ad valorem tax base (excluding the Jupiter Inlet
Beach Club property located at 244 Ocean Drive).
The rate at which property is taxed is referred to as the millage rate.
The amount of taxes paid by a property owner is determined by
multiplying the millage rate times each $1,000.00 of assessed
property value.
Local jurisdictions are required, at the beginning of the budget
process, to establish a maximum millage rate. This rate will be
advertised by the Town and mailed by the Palm Beach County
Property Appraiser. The initial maximum rate may be decreased by
the Town Commission during the budget process, but it cannot be
increased except under extraordinary circumstances.
The Palm Beach County Property Appraiser has estimated the
Taxable Value within Jupiter Inlet Colony at approximately
$730,737,089. This valuation represents a 5.17% increase from
Fiscal Year 2025-2026 value.

AGENDA ITEM COVER SHEET
Rolled-Back Rate: The rolled-back rate is the specific millage rate
that would generate the same total property tax revenue as the
previous year, not including revenue from new construction or
property improvements.
Budget Hearing Schedule: The Town is required to hold two formal
Budget Public Hearings. There are guidelines on when these
hearings must be held. Additionally, a local municipality cannot
hold a budget hearing on the same date as either the County
(9/3/2026 and 9/15/2026) or the School Board (9/9/2026). There are
also special advertising requirements for these hearings.
It is recommended that the following schedule be established:
First Budget Hearing:
Monday, September 14, 2026
6:00PM (Prior to Regular Commission
Meeting)
Jupiter Inlet Beach Club
244 Ocean Drive
Jupiter Inlet Colony, Florida 33469
Second Budget Hearing:
Tuesday, September 22, 2026
6:00 PM
Jupiter Inlet Colony Town Hall
50 Colony Road
Jupiter Inlet Colony, Florida 33469
FISCAL IMPACT: Keeping the current millage rate at 5.560 will add approximately
$198,000 to the Town’s ad valorem tax revenue.

AGENDA ITEM AMENDED Resolution No. 2016-10 Establishing a Pay in Full Period for the
TITLE: Non Ad Valorem Assessment that was Established by Resolution No. 2016-
12.
AGENDA ITEM
Town Manager
SPONSOR:
AGENDA ITEM In 2016, pursuant to Resolution No. 2016-12, the Town funded for the costs
SUMMARY: associated with the sanitary sewer system and drainage upgrade project
through bank financing. An assessment was established to cover the cost of
the project that benefited each parcel in the Town individually. This financial
obligation was assessed against every real parcel within the Town through
2031.
This cost is found annually on each annual property tax bill under “Non Ad
Valorem Assessments” in the amount of $3,300. This is not a property tax,
instead it is a fixed property assessment to cover the cost of the project. To
date, each property has paid nine (9) installments. The tenth installment will
be included in the October 1, 2026 property tax bill. (Sixteen properties paid
in full prior to the assessment in 2017.)
The Town is currently refinancing the loans secured to cover the previous
project costs. As such, there is an opportunity prior to August 30, 2026, for
each parcel to pay the final five (5) assessments in full. This would cover the
payments that will be due beginning the October 1, 2027 property tax bill
through the October 1, 2031 property tax bill. Removing future interest and
the October 1, 2026 payment in the upcoming property tax bill, this total
would be $11,654.07 per parcel.
The pay in full amount is adjusted to include overpayments to the loan by
assessed properties that have accumulated since 2017. If a property owner
elects not to pay in full, the overpayment credit will accrue interest until it can
be applied to the future loan final payment.

AGENDA ITEM COVER SHEET
The pay in full program is only available to properties that are current on their
property tax payments. Properties that are in arrears can not participate in
the pay in full program.
If not paid-in-full, each assessment will bear interest from the date on which
the new loan is closed and will continue to be paid in annual installments
through the terms of the new loan. Upon closure of the loan this fall, all
properties that are not paid-in-full will receive a new assessment ledger. Any
assessments not paid-in-full, will continue to be collected in the same
manner as the assessment was previously collected, and the first annual
installment will appear on the October 2027 property tax bill. The actual
annual assessment amount will not be finally established until (i) the Town
closes on the new loan and the interest rate borne by the loan is established,
and (ii) the actual loan amount is determined following the paid-in-full
deadline of August 30, 2026.
FISCAL The current assessment funds two loans for the project. The principal
IMPACT: amounts due as of December 16, 2026 are $2,184,314.19 and
$1,385,303.08. There are currently 224 parcels that pay the assessment
annually. Each parcel will pay $3,300 with the October 1, 2026 property tax
bill.

SUMMARY: of Resilience and Coastal Protection’s Beach Management Funding
Assistance Program has begun a new grant cycle for Local
Government Funding Requests (“LGFR”) to develop the Fiscal Year
2027/28 prioritized list of beach erosion control projects. The grant
deadline is July 31, 2026.
The program provides and manages grants to local governments, up
to 50% of project costs, for planning and implementing beach
management projects to protect upland structures and
infrastructure, provide critical habitat for threatened and
endangered species, among other priorities.
Florida DEP Critically Eroded Beaches Report identifies the northern
portion of the Town, approximately from the northern boundary to
10 Ocean Drive as critically eroded.
This is an opportunity for the Town to pursue grant funding to study
the feasibility of managing beach erosion through the construction
of shore protection projects and restoration of its dunes. The final
product may include a feasibility study that will involve performing
coastal engineering design, environmental studies and monitoring
related to the beach and dune system. The study area may include
the existing area designated by the State of Florida as “critically
eroded” and the area south of this designated area to the Town’s
southern municipal coastal boundary.
The LGFR application requires a Resolution from the Town
Commission to affirm their support of the project, willingness to

ability and willingness to provide the necessary local funding share
to implement the project.
FISCAL IMPACT: The Town will not know the exact amount required as a local share

specific amount. The funding will not need to be encumbered
until Fiscal Year 2027-2028.
