Surtax Summary, Map, & Overview

Currently, only Broward, Collier, Citrus, Lee, Martin, and Okaloosa Counties do

 not have a local sales surtax in Florida. 

Lee County leaders have placed a one-half-cent sales surtax on the November ballot for the Lee County Public School System.

The money will be used to fund tangible capital projects. The Collier BCC approved a project list that spells out how the County’s portion of revenue, an estimated $420 million, 

would be allocated. The list sets aside:

• $191 million for transportation projects, including improvements to sidewalks, bridges, and several key roadways; 
• $139 million for facilities and other capital projects, including the Sheriff's Facilities,  Big Corkscrew Regional Park, and hurricane resiliency projects; and
• $90 million for community priorities, including a career and technical training center, mental health and addiction treatment facility, and a workforce housing land trust fund.

Naples, Marco Island and Everglades City will split approximately $70 million over the 

course of the tax, which will be used for city-specific projects.
