The Orange County Board of County Commissioners will hold Fiscal Year 2026–27 Budget Work Sessions to give an overview of the proposed budget and the funding priorities behind county services. The sessions begin at 9 a.m. on Wednesday, July 15, and Thursday, July 16, 2026, in the BCC Chambers at the Orange County Administration Center, 201 S. Rosalind Ave., Orlando. Residents may attend in person or watch online. Because the two work sessions are treated as one consecutive meeting, public comment will be accepted on July 15.
The July 15 agenda includes a countywide budget overview along with Administrative Services, Fire Rescue, Corrections, Health Services, Public Works, Community and Family Services (including Parks), and the Sheriff. The July 16 agenda includes Constitutional Offices, LYNX, the Library, Planning, Environmental, and Development Services, Utilities, the Orange County Community Redevelopment Area, the I-Drive CRA, the Convention Center and Tourist Development Tax, and a Board budget discussion.
On July 16 the board will approve the tentative millages and budget along with any changes it approves. The Property Appraiser will mail Truth in Millage notices to property owners in mid-August. Final budget public hearings are set for September 10 at 5:01 p.m. and September 24 at 5:01 p.m. in the BCC Chambers, where the board will hear residents on millage rates and the budget and approve the final rates and budget for the fiscal year.
