The public hearing will be conducted pursuant to Chapters 170, 190 and 197, Florida Statutes. Developable areas within the District (as shown below) will be improved. The District is generally located within Osceola County, Florida. The Districts proposed improvements include but are not limited to stormwater management facilities, potable water distribution facilities, sanitary sewer collection & conveyance facilities, reclaimed water distribution facilities, roadway and alleyway infrastructure, landscape, irrigation & hardscape, underground electrical system and professional and inspection fees, all as more specifically described in the Engineers Report. A description of the property to be assessed, the nature of the improvements proposed (in the Assessment Area 3 Engineers Report dated April 2026 and the Assessment Area 4 Engineers Report dated April 2026 ) and the amount to be assessed to each piece or parcel of property may be ascertained at the Local District Records Office at 219 East Livingston Street, Orlando, Florida 32801.
The District intends to impose assessments on benefited lands in the manner set forth in the Districts Master Assessment Methodology for Assessment Area 3 & 4, dated March 16, 2026 (Assessment Methodology), which is available to the public at the addresses provided above. Initially, the total amount to be levied against each parcel shall be imposed on an equal per acreage basis across all of the benefiting acreage within the District. As plats are approved, lots will be assessed in the manner described in the Master Assessment Methodology. The total amount to be levied against benefited lands within is $29,265,000 exclusive of fees and costs of collection or enforcement, discounts for early payment and the annual interest costs. The assessments may be prepaid in whole in some instances 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 Osceola County and Orange County tax rolls by the Tax Collectors. Alternatively, the District may choose to directly collect and enforce these assessments.
The District also intends to levy and collect assessments on property to cover the operation and maintenance of the Districts improvements. These annual assessments will be collected on the Osceola County and Orange County tax rolls by the Tax Collectors.
