Residents should be aware that the December 2026 and January–December 2027 billing statements may reflect changes to the annual pass-thru tax assessment. Under Florida Statutes §193.1555, assessed values for certain properties, including qualifying mobile-home park properties, may generally increase by up to 10% per year, subject to the applicable rules and exemptions. For comparison, in January 2026, the monthly pass-thru tax charged to Residents increased from $112.61 to $121.07 per household. Before that, in December 2025, households were charged a one-time catch-up assessment of $101.56—an unexpected expense for many Residents. Together, those changes represented roughly a 15% increase compared with the previous year. Because of that history, Residents may want to consider budgeting for the possibility of another catch-up assessment in December 2026 and a change to the monthly pass-through tax in 2027. However, there may be some good news. The Hillsborough County 2027 Truth in Millage (TRIM) information is publicly available on the County's website and is linked below. Based on the proposed millage information currently available, it appears there could potentially be a insignificant decrease in the pass-thru tax for Residents in 2027. If that interpretation is correct, it could also mean that a December 2026 catch-up assessment may not be necessary. PLEASE DON'T QUOTE ME ON THAT LAST PART! I'm not making a prediction or saying that a decrease is guaranteed. I'm simply pointing out what the available information appears to suggest. If it turns out to be correct, that could be GREAT news for all of us! Let's hope it pans out that way!
