Charlotte County residents could see a change in their utility bills as the county commission plans to host a public hearing to discuss proposed rate increases for Utilities ratepayers. The hearing is set for 10 a.m. on Tuesday, Jan. 13, 2026, at Room 119, 18500 Murdock Circle, Port Charlotte, Florida, giving the community an opportunity to voice their opinions on the matter.
Previously slated for next Tuesday, the commission has pushed the hearing to the January date, ensuring stakeholders have ample time to prepare and participate in the process the meeting invites public input and those interested in the implications of these potential rate hikes are encouraged to attend and engage with their elected officials.
This revision and details regarding the hearing were confirmed in an official notice published early this month, as seen on the Charlotte County website. Residents or interested parties seeking further information about the hearing or the proposed utility rate changes can reach out directly to Stu Gooden at the provided email address: [email protected].
