All affected property owners have a right to appear and be heard at the public hearing and
to file written objections to the adoption of a resolution approving the preliminary assessment
roll (non-ad valorem assessment roll) with the Board within 20 days of this notice based upon
the grounds that it contains items which cannot be properly assessed against property, that the
computation of the special assessment is incorrect, or there is a default or defect in the passage
or character of the resolution, or the preliminary assessment(non-ad valorem assessment) is void
or voidable in whole or in part, or that it exceeds the power of the Board. At the completion of
bJ
the hearing, the Board shall either annul or sustain or modify in whole or in part the preliminary
assessment (non-ad valorem assessment) as indicated on such roll, either by confirming the
preliminary assessment (non-ad valorem assessment) against any or all lots or parcels described
therein or by canceling, increasing or reducing the same, according to the special benefits which
the Board decides each such lot or parcel has received or will receive from the collection and
disposal of solid waste. The assessment so made shall be final and conclusive as to each lot or
parcel assessed unless proper steps are taken within twenty (20) days with a court of competent
jurisdiction to secure relief.
The Board will levy a special assessment (non-ad valorem assessment) for collection and
disposal of solid waste based on the methodology of the number of equivalent residential units
located on the property. The total assessment for collection and disposal of solid waste shall not

valorem tax bill pursuant to Section 197.3632, Florida Statutes. Failure to pay the special
assessment (non-ad valorem assessment) and your property taxes will cause a tax certificate to
be sold against the property,which may result in a loss of title to the property.
Any person who decides to appeal a decision of the Board will need a record of the
proceedings pertaining thereto and, therefore, may need to ensure that a verbatim record of the
proceedings is made. The record shall include the testimony and evidence upon which the
