Moreover, pursuant to Section 197.3632(4), Florida Statutes, the lien amount shall serve as the “maximum rate” authorized by law for O&M Assessments, such that no public hearing on O&M Assessments shall be held or notice provided in future years unless the O&M Assessments are proposed to be increased or another criterion within Section 197.3632(4), Florida Statutes, is met. Note, the O&M Assessments do not include any debt service assessments previously levied by the District. For FY 2025/2026, the District intends to have the County Tax Collector collect the assessments imposed on all benefitted property. It is important to pay your assessment because failure to pay will cause a tax certificate to be issued against the property which may result in loss of title or, for direct billed assessments, may result in a foreclosure action which also may result in a loss of title. The District’s decision to collect assessments on the County tax roll or by direct billing does not preclude the District from later electing to collect those or other assessments in a different manner at a future time. Additional Provisions The public hearings and meeting are open to the public and will be conducted in accordance with the provi¬sions of Florida law.
