Pursuant to section 218.64(1) Florida Statute, the county will receive approximately $16,000,000 from the Local Government Half-Cent Sales Tax Program on behalf of Pinellas County ’s unincorporated area population for FY08.

However the county is intending to only allocate $3,000,000 of it to the Municipal Services Taxing Unit (MSTU) Budget (a $2,000,000 reduction from FY07).
