Did you
know that within Palm Beach County, there are 15
municipalities with populations greater than 10,000?
Of these, those with populations comparable to
Wellington's 40,000+ are Palm Beach Gardens, Jupiter,
Riviera Beach and Lake Worth. Our two closest
neighboring communities are Royal Palm Beach and Green
Acres, both with populations significantly lower.
Looking at
these communities, Wellington has the lowest per
capita ad valorem tax as a result of having the
lowest millage rate. Including Wellington's drainage
assessment of $120 per computed acre, the total tax
burden per capita of $154.34 continues to be among the
lowest in the County as well as among the comparable
municipalities mentioned. |
