The purpose of the public hearing will be to consider the adoption of an assessment roll and to provide for the levy, collection, and enforcement of proposed non-ad valorem special assessments (“Debt Assessments”) that will secure the District’s proposed special assessment bonds, to be issued in one or more series. At this hearing, the Board will hear testimony from any interested property owners as to the propriety and advisability of the Debt Assessments on all benefitted lands within the District, more fully described in the Expansion Parcel Master Assessment Methodology Report dated July 23, 2025. The proposed bonds will fund the public improvements described in the Master Report of the District Engineer - Expansion Parcel dated July 16, 2025. The Board will sit as an equalizing Board to consider comments on these assessments. The public hearing is being conducted pursuant to Chapters 170, 190, and 197, Florida Statutes.

The annual principal assessment levied against each parcel will be based on repayment over 30 years of the total debt allocated to each parcel. The District expects to collect sufficient revenues to retire no more than $14,140,000 principal in debt, excluding interest, collection costs and discounts for early payment. The proposed schedule of assessments is as follows:

Table of Assessments Per Unit Type
















The Debt Assessments are anticipated to be initially directly collected in accordance with Chapter 190, Florida Statutes. Alternatively, the District may elect to use the Manatee County Tax Collector to collect the Debt Assessments.

Failure to pay the assessments may subject the property to foreclosure and/or cause a tax certificate to be issued against the property, either of which may result in a loss of title. All affected property owners have the right to appear at the public hearing and the right to file written objections with the District within 20 days of publication of this notice.

At the conclusion of the public hearing, the Board will hold a regular public meeting to consider matters related to the construction of public improvements, to consider matters related to a bond issue to finance public improvements, to consider the services and facilities to be provided by the District and the financing plan for same, and to consider any other business that may lawfully be considered by the District.

The Board meeting and public hearing are open to the public and will be conducted in accordance with the provisions of Florida Law for community development districts. The Board meeting and/or the public hearing may be continued in progress to a date and time certain announced at the meeting and/or hearing.
