The Board of Supervisors (“Board”) of the Tomoka Community Development District (“District”) will hold public hearings on Thursday, January 16, 2025 at 3:45 p.m. at the Hampton Inn & Suites Palm Coast, 150 Flagler Plaza Drive, Palm Coast, Florida 32137, to consider the adoption of an assessment roll, the imposition of special assessments to secure proposed bonds on benefited lands within the District, a 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 First Addendum to Tomoka Community Development District Improvement Plan (2021 Expansion Parcels), dated November 27, 2024 (“Improvement Plan”). The public hearing is being conducted pursuant to Chapters 170, 190 and 197, 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 Manager, located at 3501 Quadrangle Boulevard
Suite 270, Orlando, Florida 32817; Ph: (407) 723-5900 (“District Manager's Office”).
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, stormwater management system improvements, and utility improvements to include sewer collection system, sewer lift station, sewer force main and water distribution system, and other infrastructure, all as more specifically described in the Improvement Plan, on file and available during normal business hours at the District Manager's Office.
The District intends to impose assessments on benefited lands within the District in the manner set forth in the District's Addendum to the Master Assessment Methodology, Tomoka Community Development District, dated December 2024 (“Assessment Report”), which is on file and available during normal business hours at the District Manager's Office. The Assessment Report identifies each tax parcel identification number within the District and assessments per parcel for each land use category that is currently expected to be assessed. The method of allocating assessments for the Improvements to be funded by the District will initially be determined on an equal assessment per acre basis. The methodology is explained in more detail in the Assessment Report. Also as described in more detail in the Assessment Report, the District's assessments will be levied against all assessable lands within the District. Please consult the Assessment Report for more details.
The annual principal assessment levied against each parcel will be based on repayment over thirty (30) years of the total debt allocated to each parcel. The District expects to collect sufficient revenues to retire no more than $8,945,000 in debt to be assessed by the District, exclusive of fees and costs of collection or enforcement, discounts for early payment and interest. The proposed schedule of assessments is as follows:
The 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. These annual assessments will be collected on the Flagler County tax roll by the Tax Collector. Alternatively, the District may choose to directly collect and enforce these assessments. 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 Thursday, January 16, 2025 at 3:45 p.m. at the Hampton Inn & Suites Palm Coast, 150 Flagler Plaza Drive, Palm Coast, Florida 32137, the Board will hold a regular public meeting to consider any other business that may lawfully be considered by the District.
