(1) Annual O&M Assessment includes Lee County collection costs and early payment discounts.

The proposed O&M Assessments, as stated, include collection costs and/or early payment discounts, which Lee County (“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 other assessments previously levied by the Districts and due to be collected for Fiscal Year 2026/2027.

For Fiscal Year 2026/2027. the Districts intend to have the Lee County Tax Collector
collect the O&M Assessments imposed on certain developed property. 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. The Districts decision to collect O&M Assessments on the tax roll or by direct billing does not preclude the Districts from later electing to collect O&M Assessments or other assessments in a different manner at a future time.
