The proposed FY 26 Assessments as stated include collection costs and/or early payment discounts, which Pasco County (“County”) may impose on assessments that are collected on the County tax bill. Moreover, pursuant to Section 197.3632(4), Florida Statutes, the lien amount shall serve as the “maximum rate” authorized by law for such assessments, such that no assessment hearing shall be held or notice provided in future years unless the assessments are proposed to be increased or another criterion within Section 197.3632(4), Florida Statutes, is met.
For Fiscal Year 2025/2026, the District intends to have the County tax collector collect the FY 26 Assessments imposed on certain developed property and will directly collect the FY 26 Assessments imposed on the remaining benefitted property by sending out a bill prior to, or during, November 2025. It is important to pay your 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 assessments, may result in a foreclosure action, which also may result in a loss of title. The District’s decision to collect assessments on the 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..
