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
part, or that it exceeds the power of the Board. At the completion of 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 on account of such improvements. The assessment so made shall be final and
conclusive as to each lot or parcel assessed unless proper steps are taken within twenty (20) dayswith
a court of competent jurisdiction to secure relief.
The Board will levy a Special Assessment (Non-ad Valorem Assessment) for operations and
maintenance of the water management system and the beautification of the recreational areas and
median areas, and maintenance of conservation and preserve areas utilizing an Equivalent Residential Unit
based methodology. The total assessment for maintenance of the water management system,
beautification of recreational facilities, and median areas, and maintenance of conservation or preserve
areas is $5,215,600 which equates to $680.90 per Equivalent Residential Unit based on 7659.90
assessable units.
The Board will levy a Special Assessment (Non-ad Valorem Assessment) for the establishment
of Capital Funds for ambient noise management, the maintenance and restoration of the
conservation or preserve areas, U.S. 41 berm improvements within the Unit, street sign
replacement within the median areas, landscaping improvements and U.S. 41 entrance improvements
within the Unit, utilizing an Equivalent Residential Unit based methodology. The total assessment
for these Capital Funds is $1,946,400 which equates to$254.10 per Equivalent Residential Unit based
on 7659.90 assessable units. The Special Assessment(Non-ad Valorem Assessment) will be collected
by the Collier CountyTax Collector on the owner's Ad 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
[23-PEL-00114/1795220/1]
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, which record includes the testimony and evidence upon which
the appeal is to be based.
