The News & Notes You Need to Know About

Eight straight years of lowering Cooper City’s millage rate, and a tentative budget that is 13.6% lower than the current fiscal year’s budget.



During the September 14th Public Budget Hearing, the City Commission approved a tentative millage rate of 5.835 mills and advanced the Fiscal Year 2027 budget.

Take a Few Minutes to Help Identify Transportation Improvements in Cooper City

The City of Cooper City has been awarded $157,500 in funding from the Broward Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) to develop a citywide Transportation Master Plan (TMP).

Through this program, the Broward MPO is providing technical assistance to help the City identify community-driven, design-ready transportation improvements that prioritize:

• Safety for all road users

• Speed management
• Better mobility for everyone

Now, we want to hear from those who know our city best, our residents!
