A tax increase may be headed to Sarasota County residents, both in the city limits and unincorporated portion. City and county officials, who are leaning on the increase being the first in four years, have infrastructure projects to pay for. A very slight increase to property tax rates will be discussed over a future budget hearing for both city and county governments. The increase would be $20 on a home worth $250 thousand with a homestead exemption and $40 for a home within city limits.
