    Scott Singer: Matches stated direction

    The city rate fell in seven of the eight years he voted on it and never rose. It held flat in 2019, and five of the cuts were 0.0001 mills, about 3 cents a year on a $300,000 home.

    Read the full check

    Full detail

    His campaign says he voted seven straight times to lower Boca Raton's tax rate and never voted for a tax-rate increase. As mayor he voted for the city's final tax rates every September from 2018 to 2025, each time with the whole council. The combined city rate fell in seven of those eight years and never rose. In 2018 it went from 3.6788 to 3.6787 mills, and in 2019 it stayed at 3.6787. From 2020 to 2023 it fell 0.0001 mills a year, to 3.6783. The bigger cuts came next: his 2024 motion took the proposed 3.6782 down to 3.6734, and the 2025 rate was 3.6649. The operating rate, the part that pays for city services, rose from 3.469 mills in 2018 to 3.658 in 2023, while the rate for paying off bonds fell. Limit: "Seven straight" is not right: the cuts were seven, but the 2019 hold broke the run. Five of the seven cuts were 0.0001 mills, about 3 cents a year on a $300,000 home. That it is the lowest rate of any "full-service" city is not established: no official statewide list that defines those cities and ranks their rates was found.
