FIRST INSERTION
NOTICE OF INTENT TO USE THE UNIFORM METHOD OF COLLECTING NON-AD VALOREM ASSESSMENTS FOR FIRE PROTECTION AND STORMWATER MANAGEMENT SERVICES

Notice is hereby given to all owners of real property located within the incorporated boundaries of the Town of Oakland, Florida, that the Town intends to use the uniform method of collecting non-ad valorem assessments pursuant to Section 197.3632, Florida Statutes, for any fire protection services and stormwater management services, facilities, and improvements assessments that may subsequently be lawfully imposed by the Town. The collection method could first be used for the fiscal year beginning October 1, 2027, and for subsequent years unless expressly discontinued.
The Town Commission will conduct a public hearing to consider a resolution electing to use this method of collection on Tuesday, December 8, 2026, at 7:00 p.m., at the Town Meeting Hall, 221 N. Arrington Street, Oakland, Florida 34760.
The proposed resolution states the need for a possible levy and includes a legal description of the boundaries of the real property potentially subject to the assessments. A copy may be inspected at the Office of the Town Clerk, 230 N. Tubb Street, Oakland, Florida 34760, or by contacting the Town Clerk at (407) 656-1117. This hearing concerns election of a collection method, not adoption of an assessment rate, methodology, or assessment roll. The Town has not yet decided whether to impose either assessment.
Interested persons may appear and be heard at the public hearing and may submit written comments to the Town Clerk in advance.
Any person who decides to appeal a decision made by the Town Commission with respect to any matter considered at the hearing may need to ensure that a verbatim record of the proceedings is made, including the testimony and evidence on which the appeal is based. See Section 286.0105, Florida Statutes.
ATTN: PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES. In accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act and Section 286.26, Florida Statutes, persons needing special accommodations to participate in this proceeding should contact the Office of the Town Clerk at (407) 656-1117 at least forty-eight (48) hours before the hearing.
