A RESOLUTION OF MONROE COUNTY, FLORIDA
ANNOUNCING NOTICE OF INTENT TO USE THE UNIFORM
METHOD OF COLLECTING NON-AD VALOREM SPECIAL
ASSESSMENTS LEVIED WITHIN THE COUNTY BEGINNING
WITH THE TAX BILL ISSUED IN NOVEMBER 2021 FOR CANAL
RESTORATION PROJECTS ON CANALS 82, 83 AND 84 IN KEY
LARGO; STATING A NEED FOR SUCH LEVY; PROVIDING FOR
THE MAILING OF THIS RESOLUTION; AND PROVIDING FOR
AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
WHEREAS, on October 18, 2017, Monroe County Board of County Commissioners
("BOCC") adopted Ordinance No. 021-2017 ("Ordinance"), creating a Monroe County Canals
Municipal Service Benefit Unit ("MCBU"), allowing for the future financing of improvements in a
canal restoration program through the collection of non-ad valorem special assessments; and
WHEREAS, under Section 197.3632(3)(a), Florida Statutes, and Section 4.01 of the
Ordinance, if Monroe County ("County") intends to collect a special assessment for the first time
in a geographic area, the County is required to adopt a resolution stating its intent prior to January
1 prior to the tax year in which the assessment will be collected, stating the need for the levy and
the legal description of the boundaries of the real property subject to the levy; and
WHEREAS, Monroe County (the "County") is contemplating the imposition of special
assessments beginning in November 2021 in order to pay for operations and maintenance cost
for air curtains on Canals 82, 83 and 84 in Key Largo, with the boundaries of the real property
shown on Exhibit A to this Resolution, incorporated by reference; and
WHEREAS, if assessments are used for these projects, the County intends to use the
uniform method for the levy and collection of non-ad valorem special assessments, as authorized
by section 197.3632, Florida Statutes, because this method will allow such special assessments
to be collected annually commencing in November 2021; and
WHEREAS, use of the uniform method provides a benefit to the property owners who are
paying the cost of the canal restoration, in that it allows the property owners to amortize the costs
and pay a portion on each year's tax bill; and
WHEREAS, the assessments are necessary in order to have the property owners of the
properties that receive the benefit of canal restoration programs also pay for ongoing operations
and maintenance of the canal restoration methods; and
WHEREAS, if the County proceeds with the assessment programs, adoption of this
"notice of intent' resolution will be followed by adoption of an initial assessment resolution and
final assessment resolution, later in the Spring, which will provide specific details about (a) the
amount of the assessment, (b) which properties will be subject to the assessment, and (c) the
amount of the assessment for each individual lot or parcel; and
WHEREAS, the County held a duly advertised public hearing prior to the adoption of this
Resolution, proof of publication of such hearing being attached hereto as Exhibit B.
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED:
1. Commencing with the Fiscal Year beginning on October 1, 2021, and with the tax
statement mailed for such Fiscal Year and continuing thereafter until discontinued by the County,
1
the County intends to use the uniform method of collecting non-ad valorem assessments
authorized in section 197.3632, Florida Statutes, as amended, for collecting non-ad valorem
assessments for the cost of providing canal restoration on certain properties located on Canals
82, 83 and 84. Such non-ad valorem assessments shall be levied within the County. A legal
description of such area subject to the assessment is attached hereto as Exhibit A and
incorporated by reference.
2. The County hereby determines that the levy of the assessments is needed to fund
the cost of operations and maintenance for the canal restoration projects performed on Canals
82, 83 and 84.
3. Upon adoption, the County Clerk is hereby directed to send a copy of this
Resolution by United States mail to the Florida Department of Revenue,the Monroe County Tax
Collector, and the Monroe County Property Appraiser by no later than January 10, 2021.
4. This Resolution shall be effective upon adoption.
PASSED AND ADOPTED by the Board of County Commissioners of Monroe County,
Florida, at a regular meeting of the Board held on the 9'h day of December 2020.
