The Assessments shall be levied in accordance with the Assessment Report referenced above on all lots and lands within the District which are adjoining and contiguous or bounding and abutting upon the Improvements or specially benefited thereby and further designated by the assessment plat hereinafter provided for. 9.

In accordance with the Assessment Report and commencing with the year in which the District is obligated to make payment of a portion of the Estimated Cost of the Improvements acquired and/or constructed by the District, the Assessments shall be paid in not more than thirty (30) annual installments payable at the same time and in the same manner as are ad-valorem taxes and as prescribed by Chapter 197, Florida Statutes; provided, however, that in the event the non-ad valorem assessment method of collecting the Assessments is not available to the District in any year, or the District determines not to utilize the provisions of Chapter 197, Florida Statutes, the Assessments may be collected as otherwise permitted by law. 12.
