The first purpose of the public hearing is to receive public comment and objections on the Fiscal Year 2026/2027 Proposed Budget.

FISCAL YEAR 2026/2027 O&M ASSESSMENT SCHEDULE
The tax collector will collect the assessments for platted lots. The District will directly collect the assessments for unplatted acreage, if any, and will be sending out a bill in November 2026. For delinquent assessments that were initially directly billed by the District, the District may initiate a foreclosure action or may place the delinquent assessments on the next year’s county tax bill. The decision to collect special assessments by any particular method – e.g., on the tax roll or by direct bill – does not mean that such method will be used to collect special assessments in future years, and the District reserves the right in its sole discretion to select collection methods in any given year, regardless of past practices.
Failure to pay the assessments will cause a tax certificate to be issued against the property 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 twenty (20) days of publication of this notice.
The public hearing and meeting are open to the public and will be conducted in accordance with the provisions of Florida Law. The public hearing and meeting may be continued to a date, time, and place to be specified on the record at the hearing or meeting.
There may be occasions when staff or Board members may participate by speaker telephone.
Any person requiring special accommodations at this meeting or hearing because of a disability or physical impairment should contact the District Office at (941) 756-7177 at least forty-eight (48) hours prior to the meeting and/or hearing. If you are hearing or speech impaired, please contact the Florida Relay Service at (800) 955-8770 for aid in contacting the District Office.
Each person who decides to appeal any decision made by the Board with respect to any matter considered at the public hearing or meeting is advised that person will need a record of proceedings and that accordingly, the person may need to ensure that a verbatim record of the proceedings is made, including the testimony and evidence upon which such appeal is to be based.
