Upcoming Public Hearings, and Regular Meeting

DATE: September 10, 2026
TIME: 1:00 p.m.
LOCATION: The Renaissance Center
Media Room

The first public hearing is being held pursuant to Chapter 190, Florida Statutes, to receive public comment and objections on the District’s proposed budget for the fiscal year beginning October 1, 2026 and ending September 30, 2027 ((“Proposed Budget”). The second public hearing is being held pursuant to Chapters 190 and 197, Florida Statutes, to consider the imposition of operations and maintenance special assessments (“O&M Assessments”) upon the lands located within the District, to fund the Proposed Budget; to consider the adoption of an assessment roll; and, to provide for the levy, collection, and enforcement of O&M Assessments. At the conclusion of the public hearings, the Board will, by resolution, adopt a budget and levy O&M Assessments as finally approved by the Board. A regular Board meeting of the District will also be held where the Board may consider any other District business that may properly come before it.
Description of Assessments
The District imposes O&M Assessments on benefitted property within the District for the purpose of funding the District’s general administrative, operations and maintenance budget. A geographic depiction of the property potentially subject to the proposed O&M Assessments is identified in the map attached hereto. The table below shows the schedule of the proposed O&M Assessments, which are subject to change at the hearing:

$696.69
The proposed O&M Assessments as stated include collection costs and/or early payment discounts, which Lee County may impose on assessments that are collected by the Lee County Tax Collector 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 O&M Assessments, such that no public hearing on O&M Assessments shall be held or notice provided in future years unless the O&M Assessments are proposed to be increased or another criterion within Section 197.3632(4), Florida Statutes, is met. Note that the O&M Assessments do not include any debt service assessments previously levied by the District and due to be collected for Fiscal Year 2026/2027.
For Fiscal Year 2026/2027, the District intends to have the County tax collector collect the assessments imposed on certain developed property, and will directly collect the assessments imposed on the remaining benefitted property by sending out a bill at least thirty (30) days prior to the first assessment due date. It is important to pay your O&M 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 O&M Assessments, may result in a foreclosure action, which also may result in a loss of title. The District’s decision to collect O&M Assessments on the tax roll or by direct billing does not preclude the District from later electing to collect O&M Assessments or other assessments in a different manner at a future time.
The public hearings and meeting are open to the public and will be conducted in accordance with the provisions of Florida law.
