AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Approval of Resolution adopting the tentative Duck Key Security
District non-ad valorem special assessment rates for Fiscal Year 2023-2024. The special assessment
rates remain the same as last year's rates at$292 for improved lots and $28 for unimproved lots.
ITEM BACKGROUND: The Duck Key Security District Advisory Board (DKSDAB) at its May
2, 2023 meeting voted to recommend for the special assessments to not be increased and to remain at
$28 for unimproved lots and from $292 for improved lots.
The special assessment rates may only be increased up to $300 for improved lots and $30 for
unimproved lots in accordance with the Ordinance. Ordinance 005-1992 establishing the Duck Key
Security District allows a ten percent(10%) increase over the previous year or increases to no more
than $300.00 per improved lot or $30.00 per unimproved lot without the need for a referendum.
The initial special assessment was set at$200.00 per improved lot and $20.00 per unimproved lot
and was increased by 10% for the first time for FY 17, raising the assessment to $220.00 per
improved lot and $22 per unimproved lot. The rates were again increased by 10% (it is slightly less
for round number purposes) for FY 18, raising the assessment to $242 per improved lot and $24 per
unimproved lot. The special assessment for FY 19 was increased and approved at$266 per improved
lot and $26 per unimproved lot. The special assessment for FY 20 was increased and approved at
$292 per improved lot and $28 per unimproved lot. The special assessment for FY 21 remained the
same at$292 and $28. The special assessment for FY 22 remained the same at$292 and $28. The
special assessment for FY 23 remained the same at$292 and $28.
The tentative special assessment rate for FY 24, as recommended by the advisory board, is $292 per
improved lot and $28 per unimproved lot.
