The Le Jeune Gardens Community Development District Board of Supervisors (“Board”) will hold public hearings on July 7, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. at 800 South Douglas Road, 8th Floor, Miami, Florida 33134, to consider the adoption of an assessment roll, the imposition of special assessments to secure proposed bonds or other debt instruments within the Le Jeune Gardens Community Development District (“District”), a geographic depiction of which lands is shown below, and to provide for the levy, collection and enforcement of the special assessments. The streets and areas to be improved are depicted below and in the District’s preliminary Engineer’s Report, dated June 2, 2026 (the “Improvement Plan”). The public hearing is being conducted pursuant to Chapters 170, and 190, Florida Statutes. A description of the property to be assessed and the amount to be assessed to each piece or parcel of property may be ascertained at the office of the District’s Records Office located at 3501 Quadrangle Boulevard, Suite 270, Orlando, Florida 32817, (407) 723-5900.
The District is a unit of special-purpose local government responsible for providing infrastructure improvements for lands within the District. The infrastructure improvements (“Improvements”) are currently expected to include, but are not limited to, roadways; ridesharing and parking facilities; water and sewer utilities; earthwork improvements; stormwater management; landscaping and irrigation; streetlighting, undergrounding; parks and recreational facilities; and environmental remediation, all as more specifically described in the Improvement Plan, on file and available during normal business hours at the address provided above. According to the Improvement Plan, the estimated cost of the Improvements is $358,435,000.
The District intends to impose special assessments on benefitted lands within the District in the manner set forth in the District’s preliminary Master Assessment Methodology Report, dated June 2026 (the “Assessment Report”), which is on file and available during normal business hours at the address provided above.
The purpose of any such assessment is to secure the bonds or other debt instruments issued to fund the Improvements. As described in more detail in the Assessment Report, the District’s assessments will be levied against all developable benefitted lands within the District. The Assessment Report identifies the maximum assessment per acre. The method of allocating assessments for the Improvements to be funded by the District will be determined on an equal assessment per acre basis.
The proposed annual schedule of assessments is as follows:
The special assessments may be prepaid in whole at any time, or in some instances in part, or may be paid in not more than thirty (30) annual installments subsequent to the issuance of debt to finance the improvements. The District expects to collect sufficient revenues to retire no more than $522,380,000 in debt to be assessed by the District, exclusive of fees and costs of collection or enforcement, and interest. These annual assessments will be directly collected and enforced by the District. All affected property owners have the right to appear at the public hearings and the right to file written objections with the District within twenty (20) days of the publication of this notice.
Also, on July 7, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. at 800 South Douglas Road, 8th Floor, Miami, Florida 33134, the Board will hold a regular public meeting to consider any other business that may lawfully be considered by the District.
