NOTICE OF REGULAR MEETING OF THE VIDA’S WAY COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT

The Board of Supervisors (“Board”) of Vida’s Way Community Development District (“District”) will hold public hearings and a regular meeting at 11:00 a.m. on June 16, 2026, at the Hampton Inn & Suites by Hilton – Tampa/Wesley Chapel, 2740 Cypress Ridge Blvd., Wesley Chapel, Florida 33544, to consider the adoption of an assessment roll, the imposition of special assessments to secure proposed bonds on certain benefited lands within the District, and to provide for the levy, collection, and enforcement of the special assessments. The streets and areas to be improved are geographically depicted below and in the District’s Amended and Restated Master Engineer’s Report, dated March 31, 2026 (“Improvement Plan”). The public hearings are being conducted pursuant to Chapters 170, 190, and 197, Florida Statutes. All persons interested may ascertain the description of the property to be assessed and the amount to be assessed to each piece or parcel of property at the District Manager’s office located at 2300 Glades Road, Suite 410W, Boca Raton, Florida 33431 (“District Manager’s Office”).
The District is a unit of special-purpose local government responsible for providing infrastructure improvements for lands within the District. The infrastructure improvements are currently expected to include, but are not limited to, stormwater management system, onsite and offsite public roadways improvements, water, wastewater, and reclaim utilities, hardscape/landscape/irrigation improvements, streetlighting and undergrounding of electrical utilities, and other improvements, all as more specifically described in the Improvement Plan (“Improvements”), on file and available during normal business hours at the District Manager’s Office.
On April 7, 2026, and at the request of the District’s Board of Supervisors, the Board of County Commissioners of Pasco County, Florida, adopted Ordinance No. 26-16, effective April 8, 2026, expanding the District’s boundaries to include additional lands identified in the Petition to Amend the Boundaries of Vida’s Way Community Development District as the “Expansion Parcel.”
The District intends to impose assessments on benefited lands within the Expansion Parcel in the manner set forth in the District’s B1 Expansion Parcel Master Special Assessment Methodology Report, dated May 7, 2026 (“Assessment Report”), which is on file and available during normal business hours at the District Manager’s Office.
The purpose of any such assessment is to secure bonds issued to fund the Improvements with the Expansion Parcel. As described in more detail in the Assessment Report, the District’s assessments will be levied against all benefitted lands within the Expansion Parcel. The Assessment Report identifies maximum assessment amounts for each land use category currently expected to be assessed. The method of allocating assessments for the Improvements to be funded by the District will initially be determined on an equal assessment per gross acre basis and will be allocated on an equivalent residential unit (“ERU”) basis at the time that such property is platted, site planned, or subjected to a declaration of condominium. Please consult the Assessment Report for more details.
The annual principal assessment levied against each parcel will be based on repayment over thirty (30) years of the total debt allocated to each parcel. The District expects to collect sufficient revenues to retire no more than $28,035,000 in debt to be assessed by the District, which amounts include the estimated cost of the Improvements, plus financing-related costs, capitalized interest, debt service reserve, and costs of issuance, but are exclusive of interest, discounts for early payment and collection costs. The proposed schedule of assessments is as follows:

Product Type
ERU (per unit)
Maximum Principal (per unit)
Maximum Annual Installment (per unit)*

Townhome 20’
0.40
$54,289.31

$6,156.23

Single Family 40’

$108,578.62

*includes collection fees and early payment discount allowances
The assessments may be prepaid in whole at any time, or in some instances in part, or may be paid in not more than thirty (30) annual installments subsequent to the issuance of debt to finance the Improvements. These annual assessments will be collected on the Pasco County (“County”) tax roll by the County Tax Collector. Alternatively, the District may choose to directly collect and enforce these assessments. All affected property owners have the right to appear at the public hearings and the right to file written objections with the District within twenty (20) days of the publication of this notice.
Also, at 11:00 a.m. on June 16, 2026, at the Hampton Inn & Suites by Hilton – Tampa/Wesley Chapel, 2740 Cypress Ridge Blvd., Wesley Chapel, Florida 33544, the Board will hold a regular public meeting to consider any other business that may lawfully be considered by the District. The Board meeting and hearings are open to the public and will be conducted in accordance with the provisions of Florida law for community development districts.
