PRELIMINARY DISCLOSURE
INSTRUCTIONS
General Instructions
Each of the following taxing authorities must
complete a DR-420MM-P.
• County
• Municipality
• Special district dependent to a county or
municipality
• County MSTU
• Independent special district, including water
management districts
• Water management district basin
Voting requirements for millages adopted by a
two-thirds or a unanimous vote are based on the
full membership of the governing body, not on
the number of members present at the time of
the vote.
This form calculates the maximum tax levy for
2019 allowed under s. 200.065(5), F.S. Counties
and municipalities, including dependent special
districts and MSTUs, which adopt a tax levy at the
final hearing higher than allowed under s.
200.065, F.S., may be subject to the loss of their
half-cent sales tax distribution.
DR-420MM-P shows the preliminary maximum
millages and taxes levied based on your
proposed adoption vote. Each taxing authority
must complete, sign, and submit this form to
their property appraiser with their completed
DR-420, Certification of Taxable Value.
The vote at the final hearing and the resulting
maximum may change. After the final hearing,
each taxing authority will file a final Form
DR-420MM, Maximum Millage Levy Calculation
Final Disclosure, with Form DR-487, Certification
of Compliance, with the Department of Revenue.
Specific tax year references in this form are
updated each year by the Department.
Line Instructions
Lines 5-10
Only taxing authorities that levied a 2018 millage rate less
than their maximum majority vote rate must complete these
lines. The adjusted rolled-back rate on Line 10 is the rate
that would have been levied if the maximum vote rate for
2018 had been adopted. If these lines are completed, enter
the adjusted rate on Line 11.
Line 12
This line is entered by the Department of Revenue. The
same adjustment factor is used statewide by all taxing
authorities. It is based on the change in per capita Florida
personal income (s. 200.001(8)(i), F.S.), which Florida Law
requires the Office of Economic and Demographic Research
to report each year.
Lines 13 and 14
Millage rates are the maximum that could be levied with a
majority or two-thirds vote of the full membership of the
governing body. With a unanimous vote of the full
membership (three-fourths vote of the full membership if
the governing body has nine or more members) or a
referendum, the maximum millage rate that can be levied is
the taxing authority’s statutory or constitutional cap.
Line 16
Check the box for the minimum vote necessary at the final
hearing to levy your adopted millage rate.
Line 17
Enter the millage rate indicated by the box checked in Line
16. If the proposed millage rate is equal to or less than the
majority vote maximum millage rate, enter the majority vote
maximum. If a two-thirds vote, a unanimous vote, or a
referendum is required, enter the proposed millage rate. For
a millage requiring more than a majority vote, the proposed
millage rate must be entered on Line 17, rather than the
maximum rate, so that the comparisons on Lines 21 through
25 are accurate.
