The Board of Supervisors (“Board”) for the Estancia at Wiregrass Community Development District (“District”) will hold the following public hearings and regular meeting on:

DATE:
August 18, 2026
TIME:
6:00 P.M.
LOCATION:
Estancia at Wiregrass Clubhouse
4000 Estancia Boulevard

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 (“Proposed Budget”) for the fiscal year beginning October 1, 2026, and ending September 30, 2027 (“FY 2027”). The second public hearing is being held pursuant to Chapters 170, 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 for FY 2027; to consider an amended assessment methodology for the portion of the operations and maintenance assessments allocable to the Amenity Center Budget; to consider the adoption of an assessment roll; and to provide for the levy, collection, and enforcement of O&M Assessments. The District is proposing to modify the portion of the assessment methodology for funding the Amenity Center Budget to assign one Equivalent Assessment Unit (EAU) per unit for all product types. 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

*includes collection costs and early payment discounts
NOTE: THE DISTRICT RESERVES ALL RIGHTS TO CHANGE THE LAND USES, NUMBER OF UNITS, EAU FACTORS, AND O&M ASSESSMENT AMOUNTS AT THE PUBLIC HEARING, WITHOUT FURTHER NOTICE.
The proposed O&M Assessments as stated include collection costs and/or early payment discounts imposed on assessments collected by the Pasco County (“County”) Tax Collect on the 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, the O&M Assessments do not include debt service assessments previously levied by the District.
For FY 2027, the District intends to have the 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 District’s decision to collect O&M Assessments on the County 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.
Additional Provisions
