Financials

Responsible to the Taxpayers of Palm Beach County

For more than 30 years, the Health Care District has managed its programs using a fiscally conservative strategy.

86% of the District's budget goes to health care services. Ad valorem taxes represent the Health Care District's largest revenue source, covering 67.8% of expenditures with grant funds and patient revenue covering the remainder. The Health Care District's enabling legislation grants it the ability to annually levy ad valorem taxes up to 2.00 mills per $1,000 of taxable value on Palm Beach County properties.

The current assessed millage rate for 2022-2023 is 0.7261, the same as last year's millage rate, which continues to be the lowest in District history.

 

Expenditures/Expenses

The Health Care District's expenditures include funding the Trauma System, a network of primary care clinics, a skilled nursing facility, a School Health Program that staffs registered nurses in our public schools, and a rural, acute-care teaching hospital.

Budget

The State of Florida Statutes require the Health Care District to establish a budgetary system and approve a balanced annual operating budget. The Health Care District's enabling legislation requires the Board to annually determine and approve a budget and establish a millage rate in accordance with Chapter 200, Florida Statutes. In addition, the legislation limits the ad valorem tax levied by the Health Care District to two mills with the annual millage levy increase capped at one-quarter of a mill from the amount levied by the Health Care District in the previous year.
