Re: Notice of Proposed Maintenance Special Assessment for Canal 105
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 of property 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 12th St., Suite 408, Key West Florida 33040 between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m.,
Monday through Friday.
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 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: 1
The maximum Annual Maintenance Assessment that can be imposed for Fiscal Year beginning October 1,2023
and for future fiscal years for the above parcel without further notice is$891,which translates to$74.25 per
month.
The estimated total revenue to be collected for the Assessment Area is$41,842 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 Nelson Government Center, 102050 Overseas Highway, Key Largo, FL 33037.
