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) days with a court of competent jurisdiction to secure relief.

maintenance of the water management system and the beautification of the recreational areas and

Residential Unit based methodology. The total assessment for maintenance of the water
