INSTRUCTIONS
General Instructions
Each of the following taxing authorities must
complete Form DR-420MM.
• 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 provides for the calculation of the
maximum tax levy for the current year 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.
Form DR-420MM shows the maximum millages
and taxes levied based on the adoption vote.
Each taxing authority must complete and certify
this form. This certified DR-420MM and
completed DR-487, Certification of Compliance,
must be submitted to the Department of
Revenue within 30 days of the final hearings.
Taxing authorities must also submit Form DR-487V, Vote
Record for Final Adoption of Millage Levy. This form certifies
to the Department of Revenue the vote on the resolution or
ordinance stating the millage rate adopted at the final
hearing.
Line Instructions
Lines 3 and 4
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 5
Rate cannot exceed the statutory rate of the principal
taxing authority.
Line 6
Check the box for the minimum vote necessary at the final
hearing to levy the adopted millage rate.
Line 7
Enter the millage rate indicated by the box checked in Line
6.If the adopted millage rate is equal to or less than the
majority vote maximum millage rate, enter the rolled-back
rate. If a two-thirds vote, a unanimous vote, or a
referendum is required, enter the adopted millage rate. For
a millage requiring more than a majority vote, the adopted
millage rate must be entered on Line 7, rather than the
maximum rate, so that the comparisons on Lines 11
through 15 are accurate.
