benefit unit and to authorize the imposition of Assessments to fund the Maintenance
of Local Improvements that serve and specially benefit the property located therein.
(B) The Canal Improvements constitute a Local Improvement, as defined

(C) All properties within the Assessment Area that have received Canal
7
Improvements will require continued operations and maintenance in order to
maintain the benefits achieved by the Canal Improvements. All Lots and Tax Parcels
within the MSBU that have received the Local Improvements will benefit from
Maintenance of the Local Improvements. Without Maintenance of the Local
Improvements, the gains achieved through improvement in water quality within the
benefitted Lots and Tax Parcels by the Canal Improvements will be lost.
(D) The Board desires to create the Assessment Area and to collect
Maintenance Assessments in order to fund Maintenance Costs.
(E) The Canal Improvements, and the related Maintenance Activities,
provide a special benefit to the properties located within the Assessment Area, by
protecting and enhancing their value, use and enjoyment; promoting health, welfare,
convenience and safety for all assessed property owners in the Assessment Area;
stabilization of or increase in property values; established and preserving water
access to all properties within the Assessment Area; and improved appearance of the
Assessment Area.
(F) The Board hereby finds and determines that the Assessments to be
imposed in accordance with this Resolution provide an equitable method of funding
the Maintenance of the Local Improvements by fairly and reasonably allocating the
cost to specially benefitted property.
(G) The Board hereby finds that each property within the proposed
MSBU will be benefited by the Maintenance of the Local Improvements in an
amount not less than the Assessment imposed against such property, computed in the
manner set forth in this Resolution.
91
(H) The Maintenance Assessment will be implemented to provide for
mandatory payment of the annual Maintenance Costs by all Tax Lots within the
MSBU.
ARTICLE II

MAINTENANCE ASSESSMENTS
SECTION 4.01. ESTIMATED MAINTENANCE COST. The
estimated annual Maintenance Cost for the Lots within the Canals 82-83-84
Assessment Area is $51,152 per Fiscal Year. This Maintenance Cost will be
funded through the imposition of Maintenance Assessments against real property
located in the Canals 82-83-84 Assessment Area in the manner set forth in this
article.
SECTION 4.02. IMPOSITION OF MAINTENANCE ASSESSMENTS.
The Maintenance Assessments shall be imposed against all real property located

within the Assessment Area for each Fiscal Year and shall be computed in
accordance with this Article. The estimated annual Maintenance Assessment rate to
generate the estimated Maintenance Costs for the Fiscal Year beginning October 1,

owners who pay prior to March 1 ("Maintenance Assessment Statutory Discount
Amount"). This sum is then divided by the sum by the total number of Lots within

purposes of the Maintenance Assessments.
(C) The Maintenance Assessment amount shall be adjusted by a CPI-U
adjustment each year.

Roll in the manner provided in the Ordinance. The Assessment Coordinator shall
11
apportion the Maintenance Cost among the Lots of real property within the MSBU
and within each Assessment Area as reflected on the Tax Roll in conformity with
this Article. The estimate of Maintenance Cost and the Maintenance Assessment
Roll shall be maintained on file at the office of the Assessment Coordinator and open
to public inspection. The foregoing shall not be construed to require that the
Maintenance Assessment Roll be in printed form if the amount of the Maintenance
Assessment for each Lot can be determined by use of a computer terminal available
to the public.
ARTICLE V

Re: Notice of Proposed Maintenance Special Assessment for Canals 82-83-84
Dear Property Owner:
A municipal service benefit unit is being created to fund assessments for operation and maintenance costs
related to certain canal restoration activities in your area. The operation and maintenance work is necessary
in order to maintain the water quality improvement that has already been achieved on the canals. The type
of operation and maintenance work that is necessary depends on the type of canal restoration technology
that was used in each canal. The assessment for each lot is based on the cost of the operations and
maintenance and the number of lots on each canal. A more specific description of the assessment program
is set forth in the Initial Assessment Resolution adopted by the County Commission on April 19, 2023.
Information regarding the assessment for your specific property is shown below.
Monroe County created the Monroe County Canals Municipal Service Benefit Unit to impose special
assessments to fund ongoing operations and maintenance costs for those canals in the canal restoration
program. The maintenance assessments will be collected on the ad valorem tax bill commencing with the tax
bill to be mailed in November 2023, as authorized by Section 197.3632, Florida Statutes. Failure to pay the
assessments will cause a tax certificate to be issued against the real property, which may result in a loss of
title.
A more specific description of the improvements and the method of computing the assessment for each lot
of real property are set forth in the Initial Assessment Resolution adopted by the Board of County
Commissioners on April 19, 2023. Copies of the Canal Restoration Program Assessment Ordinance, the Initial
Assessment Resolution (including an explanation of the assessment methodology) and the initial Assessment
Roll are available for inspection at the Monroe County Attorney's Office, 1100 12t" St., Suite 408, Key West
Florida 33040 between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. Information regarding
the assessment for your specific real property is attached to this letter.
The proposed assessments are based on the total overall future maintenance cost, divided by the number
of Lots on the canal. The annual assessment for each Lot will include its share of annual collection costs. An
17
amount is also added to cover the statutory discount applicable to early payment of ad valorem taxes and
special assessments.
The total number of Lots attributable to the above tax parcel is:
The maximum Annual Maintenance Assessment that can be imposed without further notice for Fiscal Year
beginning October 1, 2023 and for future fiscal years for the above parcel is $ , which translates
to $ per Lot per month.
The estimated total revenue to be collected for the Assessment Area is $51,152 per Fiscal Year.
You are invited to attend a public hearing to adopt the Final Assessment Resolution scheduled for June 21,
2023 beginning at 9:00 a.m. at the Murray N6son Government Center, 1.02050 Overseas I~lighway, Key Largo,
