Here's How You Save

Over 70% of property owners in the annexation areas would save money or break even by joining the City, even though Palm Beach Gardens’ property tax rate is slightly higher. Here’s why:

  1. Palm Beach Gardens doesn’t tax utilities. You’ll save the County’s 10% Utility Tax on your electricity, water & sewer, and gas bills. 
  2. Palm Beach Gardens’ Telecommunications Tax is lower than the County’s. You’ll save money on:
    • Cell Phones (every line – actual phones & hotspots) 
    • Cable/TV (Comcast, DirecTV, Dish…) 
    • All Streaming Services (Netflix, Prime, Max…)
    • Landlines
  3. The City of Palm Beach Gardens pays a portion of every resident’s solid waste bill. A single-family home with curbside pickup will save about 60% on trash and recycling.
