The City Commission held their second and final public hearing on the Fiscal Year 2025 budgets on September 20, 2024, at which time they approved the budget.  The adopted budget maintains an ad valorem millage rate of 3.3464 mills; this rate has remained unchanged for the seventh year in a row.  With the increase in property values, adopting the same millage rate results in an increase in ad valorem revenues of $2,602,600 compared to Fiscal Year 2024.  Weston continues to have the lowest ad valorem millage rate of all municipalities in Broward County, as it has had since 1996.
