The Board of Supervisors (“Board”) for the North River Ranch Improvement Stewardship District (“District”) will hold the following public hearings and regular meeting: DATE: August 13, 2025 TIME: 2:00 PM LOCATION: Lakewood Ranch Library – Meeting Room A (#127) 16410 Rangeland Pkwy, Bradenton, FL 34211 The first public hearing is being held pursuant to Chapter 2020-191, Laws of Florida, to receive public comment and objections on the District’s proposed budget (“Proposed Budget”) for the fiscal year beginning October 1, 2025, and ending September 30, 2026 (“FY 2026”). The second public hearing is being held pursuant to Chapter 2020-191, Laws of Florida, and Chapter 197, Florida Statutes, to consider the imposition of operations and maintenance special assessments (“O&M Assessments”) upon the lands located within the District to fund the Proposed Budget for FY 2026; to consider the adoption of an assessment roll; and to provide for the levy, collection, and enforcement of O&M Assessments. At the conclusion of the public hearings, the Board will, by resolution, adopt a budget and levy O&M Assessments as finally approved by the Board. A regular Board meeting of the District will also be held where the Board may consider any other District business that may properly come before it. Description of Assessments The District imposes O&M Assessments on benefitted property within the District for the purpose of funding the District’s general administrative, operations, and maintenance budget. A description of the services to be funded by the O&M Assessments, and the properties to be improved and benefitted from the O&M Assessments, are all set forth in the Proposed Budget. A geographic depiction of the property potentially subject to the proposed O&M Assessments is identified in the map attached hereto.

The proposed O&M Assessments as stated include collection costs and/or early payment discounts imposed on assessments collected by the Manatee County (“County”) Tax Collect on the tax bill. 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 debt service assessments previously levied by the District, if any. For FY 2026, the District intends to have the County Tax Collector collect the O&M Assessments imposed on certain developed property and will directly collect the O&M Assessments on the remaining benefitted property, if any, by sending out a bill at least thirty (30) days prior to the first Assessment due date. It is important to pay your O&M 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 O&M Assessments, may result in a foreclosure action which also may result in a loss of title. The District’s decision to collect O&M 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 provisions of Florida law.
