SPRUCE UP LARGO

September 16 is National Cleanup Day and we want you to team up with the Largo Recreation, Parks & Arts Department to enhance our crown jewel, Largo Central Park and the Largo Central Park Nature Preserve. Groups will paint, plant flowers, remove invasive species, clean up trash, and more. Breakfast, refreshments, and a t-shirt will be provided. Pre-registration is required.

2nd STREET SE CONSTRUCTION UPDATE

The scheduled start of roadway work affecting the Public Works entrance and Largo Middle School parking lot has been postponed 2-4 weeks due to lack of CSX flagmen.  An update will be provided when CSX notifies the City of flagman availability. 

TAKE THE TAX RATE SURVEY

Each year, your priorities help determine how tax dollars are spent within the City of Largo's Annual Budget. For Fiscal Year 2024, City leaders are currently finalizing a proposed budget totaling nearly $234 million of investments in our community. Community feedback received throughout the year and during annual budget sessions informs city decision-making so that we can advance the vision to be the Community of Choice in Tampa Bay, Naturally! 

This brief poll focuses on the City of Largo's Property Tax / Millage Rate for Fiscal Year 2024. A new property tax rate will be adopted on September 18. Property taxes help pay for City services including Police, Fire Rescue, Parks, Recreation, and Emergency Management. Share your perspective through a 5-minute survey. The survey closes on August 28.
