Re: Notice of Proposed Maintenance Special Assessment for Twin Lakes
Dear Property Owner:
A municipal service benefit unit is being created to fund assessments for operation and
maintenance costs related to certain roadway improvement and sea level rise and flood
mitigation program activities in your area. The operation and maintenance work is necessary

each parcel is based on the cost of the operations and maintenance and the number of
dwelling units and undeveloped parcels in the roadway improvement area. A more specific
description of the assessment program is set forth in the Initial Assessment Resolution
adopted by the County Commission on May 21,2025. Information regarding the assessment
for your specific property is shown below.
Monroe County created the Monroe County Roadway Improvement and Sea Level Rise and
Flood Mitigation Program Municipal Service Benefit Unit to impose special assessments to
fund ongoing operations and maintenance costs for roadway improvements in the program.
The maintenance assessments will be collected on the ad valorem tax bill commencing with
the tax bill to be mailed in November 2025, 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 parcel of real property are set forth in the Initial Assessment Resolution
adopted by the Board of County Commissioners on May 21, 2025. Copies of the

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 dwelling units and undeveloped parcels in the Benefit Area. The annual
assessment for each parcel will include its share of annual collection costs. An amount is

and special assessments.
The total number of dwelling units or undeveloped parcels attributable to the above tax parcel
