APPROXIMATE 9:45 A.M.
ITEM BACKGROUND:
This is the second discussion and direction presentation for proposed revisions to Ordinance #02-2021
(Chapter 22, Article VII, Monroe County Code of Ordinances) that originally authorized the creation of
a master special assessment program for County roadway elevation and improvement projects, as
needed, for sea level rise and flood mitigation. The first discussion took place on November 12, 2025,
in Key West.
The revisions include but are not limited to:
1. New project requests to be initiated by residents.
2. Project types to be expanded beyond roadway elevation and flood mitigation to include, but not
be limited to, drainage, beach renourishment, beach erosion control, living shorelines, recreation
services and facilities, canal improvements, street and road adaptation, sidewalks, lighting and
other essential facilities and services.
3. Project types to provide services and improvements beyond the basic levels of services provided
by the County.
4. Project approval requires a 50%+l majority approval of the property owners within the
specified benefit area or the County will not proceed with the project.
5. Project costs to be borne by the property owners, paid in whole or in part from special
assessments or from the proceeds of bonds issued for such purposes and/or grant funds or a
2386
combination.
6. Project costs shall include, but not be limited to, research to determine project type, design,
permitting, construction, inspection, monitoring, assessment, development and Operation &
Maintenance (O & M) costs.
7. Funding may be advanced by the County, at its option, to pay necessary expenses prior to the
creation of any assessment unit and the receipt of unit funds. After any unit is created, the
amounts so advanced shall be repaid to the County from unit funds.
8. Any amounts advanced and expended toward a potential project that ultimately does not move
forward shall be reimbursed to the County by the property owners.
9. The County may apply for grant funds as applicable and available, and the costs of grant
preparation, design, permitting and other related expenses will be borne by property owners.
Grant awards are not guaranteed.
10. Assessments shall be initiated to fund project costs and may be implemented in advance of a
project to build-up funds, to reimburse the County for all expended funds related to a project and
to fund long-term O&M costs.
11. Special assessments against property benefitted by the project shall be assessed upon the
property in proportion to the special benefits to be determined and allocated according to the
methodology to be adopted by the County.
12. The County may consider development of a financial hardship assistance program to provide
financial assistance for those real property owners in a specific project benefit area in the
unincorporated county living at or below poverty levels whose real property is subject to special
assessments imposed under the provisions of the Ordinance.
The presentation outlining the process is attached to the agenda item.
Original Ordinance: The original ordinance was created to set up a master Municipal Service Benefit
Unit (MSBU)Assessment Program that authorized the creation of assessment areas and collection of an
assessment after approval of Initial and Final Assessment resolutions in accordance with Section
197.3632, Florida Statutes. The assessment resolution would contain (a) a specific list of properties to
be assessed, and (b) the amount of the assessment for each property. The MSBU assessments, if levied,
were to be used for capital and/or operation and maintenance "O&M" costs for road elevation and
improvements projects as needed to mitigate seal level rise and flood effects. The assessed areas were
anticipated to be implemented in small areas within the County on a project-by-project basis.
At the December 9, 2020, meeting, the Board approved Resolution No. 428-2020 which provides the
option for levying assessments within the County toward the cost of providing capital costs and O&M
costs for the roadway improvements related to sea level rise located within Monroe County and
provides for the County to collect the assessments. As the County proceeded with the Countywide
Roads Vulnerability Sea Level Rise Adaptation Study, various roadway areas were identified for design
and construction subject to further approval of the Board. Funding for design and construction may
require sea level rise and flood mitigation special assessments to be imposed in these various areas.
The property owners on the roads where work may be performed will realize benefits as a result of any
roads adaptation work, including but not limited to decrease in road flooding and potential increase in
property values.
The County is authorized under Section 125.01(1)(q), Florida Statutes to establish municipal service
benefit units within all or any part of the county, within which may be provided essential facilities and
municipal services from funds derived from special assessments on the properties located within the
municipal service benefit unit (MSBU). Road adaptation work falls within the definition of "other
essential facilities and municipal services."

9
2398
SECTION 2.02. CREATION OF ASSESSMENT AREA.
(A) The Board is hereby authorized to create Assessment Areas in accordance
with the procedures set forth in Section 3.02 and 3.06. The Assessments Areas shall
contain property located within the County that is specially benefitted by the services,
facilities, programs, or Local Improvements proposed for funding from the proceeds of
Assessments to be imposed therein.
(B) Either the Initial Assessment Resolution proposing each Assessment Area
or the Final Assessment Resolution creating each Assessment Area shall include brief
descriptions of the proposed services, facilities, programs, or Local Improvements, a
description of the property to be included within the Assessment Area, and specific
legislative findings that recognize the special benefit to be provided by each proposed
service, facility, program, or Local Improvements to property within the Assessment Area.
SECTION 2.03. REVISIONS TO ASSESSMENTS. If any Assessment made under
the provisions of this Ordinance is either in whole or in part annulled, vacated, or set aside
by the judgment of any court of competent jurisdiction, or if the Board is satisfied that any
such Assessment is so irregular or defective that the same cannot be enforced or
collected, or if the Board has omitted to include any property on the Assessment Roll
which property should have been so included, the Board may take all necessary steps to
impose a new Assessment against any property benefited by the Service Costs, Capital
Costs or Project Costs, following as nearly as may be practicable, the provisions of this
Ordinance, and in case such second Assessment is annulled, vacated, or set aside, the
Board may obtain and impose other Assessments until a valid Assessment is imposed.
SECTION 2.04. PROCEDURAL IRREGULARITIES. Any informality or
irregularity in the proceedings in connection with the levy of any Assessment under the
10
2399
provisions of this Ordinance shall not affect the validity of the same after the approval
thereof, and any Assessment, as finally approved, shall be competent and sufficient
evidence that such Assessment was duly levied, that the Assessment was duly made and
adopted, and that all other proceedings adequate to such Assessment were duly had,
taken, and performed as required by this Ordinance; and no variance from the directions

objecting to an Assessment imposed pursuant to this Ordinance must file an objection with
a court of competent jurisdiction within the time periods prescribed herein.
SECTION 2.05. CORRECTION OF ERRORS AND OMISSIONS.
(A) No act of error or omission on the part of the Property Appraiser, Tax
Collector, County Administrator, their deputies, employees, or designees, shall operate

Board under the provision of this Ordinance.
(B) When it shall appear that any Assessment should have been imposed under
this Ordinance against a lot or parcel of property specially benefited by the provision of a
service, facility, program, or Local Improvement, but such property was omitted from the
Assessment Roll, the Board may, upon provision of appropriate notice as set forth in this
Article, impose the applicable Assessment. Such total Assessment shall become
delinquent if not fully paid upon the expiration of 60 days from the date of the adoption of
said resolution. The Assessment so imposed shall constitute a lien against such property
equal in rank and dignity with the liens of all state, county, district, or municipal taxes and
special assessments, and superior in rank and dignity to all other prior liens, mortgages,
titles and claims in and to or against the real property involved and may be collected as

her own initiative or in response to a timely filed petition from the Owner of any Assessed
Property, to correct any error in applying the Assessment apportionment method to any
particular property not otherwise requiring the provision of notice pursuant to the Uniform
Assessment Collection Act. Any such correction that reduces an Assessment shall be
considered valid ab initio and shall in no way affect the enforcement of the Assessment
imposed under the provisions of this Ordinance. Any such correction which increases an
Assessment or imposes an Assessment on omitted property shall first require notice to
the affected owner in the manner described in Section 3.05 hereof, as applicable,
providing the date, time and place that the Board will consider confirming the correction
and offering the owner an opportunity to be heard. All requests from affected property
owners for any such changes, modifications or corrections shall be referred to, and
processed by, the County Administrator and not the Property Appraiser or Tax Collector.
(D) After the Assessment Roll has been delivered to the Tax Collector in
accordance with the Uniform Assessment Collection Act, any changes, modifications, or
corrections thereto shall be made in accordance with the procedures applicable to
correcting errors and insolvencies on the Tax Roll upon timely written request and
direction of the County Administrator.
SECTION 2.06. LIEN OF ASSESSMENTS.
(A) Upon the adoption of the Assessment Roll, all Assessments shall constitute
a lien against such property equal in rank and dignity with the liens of all state, county,
district, or municipal taxes and special assessments. Except as otherwise provided by
law, such lien shall be superior in dignity to all other prior liens, mortgages, titles, and
12
2401
claims, until paid.
(B) The lien for an Assessment shall be deemed perfected upon adoption by the
Board of the Final Assessment Resolution or the Annual Rate Resolution, whichever is
applicable. The lien for an Assessment collected under the Uniform Assessment
Collection Act shall attach to the property as provided by law. The lien for an Assessment
collected under the alternative method of collection provided in Section 6.02 shall be

assessment to be imposed in the upcoming fiscal year; (D) approve the initial Assessment
Roll, with such amendments as it deems just and right; and (E) determine the method of
collection.
(B) All parcels assessed shall derive a special benefit from the service, facility,
or program to be provided or constructed and the Assessment shall be fairly and
reasonably apportioned among the properties that receive the special benefit.
(C) The initial assessment roll as approved by the Final Assessment Resolution
shall be delivered to the Tax Collector as required by the Uniform Assessment Collection
Act.
(D) The Final Assessment Resolution shall constitute the Annual Rate

hereunder.
SECTION 3.07. EFFECT OF FINAL ASSESSMENT RESOLUTION.
Assessments for the initial Fiscal Year shall be established upon adoption of the
16
2405
Final Assessment Resolution. The adoption of the Final Assessment Resolution shall be
the final adjudication of the issues presented (including, but not limited to, the method of
apportionment and assessment, the Maximum Assessment Rate, the initial rate of
assessment, the initial Assessment Roll, and the levy and lien of the Assessments),
unless proper steps are initiated in a court of competent jurisdiction to secure relief within
twenty (20) days from the date of Board action on the Final Assessment Resolution. The
initial Assessment Roll, as approved by the Final Assessment Resolution, shall be
delivered to the Tax Collector, or the Property Appraiser if so directed by the Tax
Collector, or if an alternative method is used to collect the Assessments, such other official
as the Board by resolution shall designate.
SECTION 3.08. ADOPTION OF ANNUAL RATE RESOLUTION.
(A) The board shall adopt an Annual Rate Resolution during its budget adoption
process for each fiscal year following the initial fiscal year for which an assessment is
imposed hereunder. The Annual Rate Resolution shall approve the assessment roll for
the upcoming fiscal year. The Assessment Roll shall be prepared in accordance with the
method of apportionment set forth in the Initial Assessment Resolution together with
modifications, if any, and as confirmed in the Final Assessment Resolution.
(B) The Board shall hold a public hearing to adopt the Annual Rate Resolution
and the annual assessment roll for the ensuing fiscal year. At the public hearing, the
Board shall hear comments and objections from owners and other members of the public
as to the Preliminary Rate and proposed assessments. The Board shall make such
increase, decrease or revision to any proposed Assessment as it shall deem necessary
or appropriate. In addition, the Board shall make such changes, modifications or additions
as necessary to conform the preliminary annual assessment roll with the adopted rate
17
2406
resolution and this article. The Board may continue said public hearing to a date and time
certain without the necessity of further public notice to allow prior to final adoption
increases, decreases or revisions to the Preliminary Rate or for such other reason
deemed necessary in the sole discretion of the board. Upon completion of such public
hearing the Board may approve the Annual Rate Resolution.
(C) Notice of the public hearing for the Annual Rate Resolution shall be published
in a newspaper of general circulation within the county, at least twenty (20) days prior to
the public hearing. The published notice shall contain at least the following information:
the name of the local governing board; a geographic depiction of the property subject to
the assessment; the proposed schedule of the assessment; the fact that the assessment
will be collected by the tax collector; and a statement that all affected property owners
have the right to appear at the public hearing and the right to file written objections within
20 days of the publication of the notice.
(D) In the event that the uniform method of collection provided for in the Uniform
Assessment Collection Act is used and:
(1) The proposed assessment for any fiscal year exceeds the maximum
assessment rate included in notice previously provided to the owners of
assessable property pursuant to sections 3.04 and 3.05 hereof,
(2) The method of apportionment is changed or the purpose for which the
assessment is imposed is substantially changed from that represented by
the notice previously provided to the owners of assessable property
pursuant to sections 3.04 and 3.05 hereof,
(3) Assessable property is reclassified in a manner that results in an
increased assessment beyond that represented by notice previously
18
2407
provided to the owners of assessable property pursuant to sections 3.04
and 3.05 hereof, or
(4) an assessment roll contains assessable property that was not included
on the assessment roll approved for the prior fiscal year,
then notice shall be provided by first class mail to the owners of such assessable
property. Such supplemental notice shall substantially conform with the notice
requirements set forth in section 3.04 and 3.05 hereof and shall inform the property owner
of the date and place for the adoption of the annual rate resolution. The failure of the
owner to receive such supplemental notice due to mistake or inadvertence, shall not affect
the validity of the assessment roll nor release or discharge any obligation for payment of
an assessment imposed by the board pursuant to this article.
(E) As to any Assessed Property not included on an Assessment Roll approved
by the adoption of the Final Assessment Resolution or a prior year's Annual Rate
Resolution, the adoption of the succeeding Annual Rate Resolution shall be the final
adjudication of the issues presented as to such Assessed Property (including, but not
limited to, the determination of special benefit and fair apportionment to the Assessed
Property, the method of apportionment and assessment, the rate of assessment, the
establishment or increase of a Maximum Assessment Rate, the Assessment Roll, and
the levy and lien of the Assessments), unless proper steps are initiated in a court of
competent jurisdiction to secure relief within twenty (20) days from the date of the Board
action on the Annual Rate Resolution. Nothing contained herein shall be construed or
interpreted to affect the finality of any Assessment not challenged within the required 20-
day period for those Assessments previously imposed against Assessed Property by the
inclusion of the Assessed Property on an Assessment Roll approved in the Final
19
2408
Assessment Resolution or any subsequent Annual Rate Resolution.
(F) The Assessment Roll, as approved by the Annual Rate Resolution, shall be
delivered to the Tax Collector as required by the Uniform Assessment Collection Act. If
the Assessment against any property shall be sustained, reduced, or abated by the court,
an adjustment shall be made on the Assessment Roll.
ARTICLE IV
COLLECTION AND USE OF ASSESSMENTS
SECTION 4.01. METHOD OF COLLECTION.
(A) Unless otherwise directed by the Board, the Assessments shall be collected
pursuant to the Uniform Assessment Collection Act, and the County shall comply with all
applicable provisions of the Uniform Assessment Collection Act. The Resolution of Intent
required by the Uniform Assessment Collection Act may be adopted either prior to or
following the Initial Assessment Resolution; provided however, that the Resolution of
Intent must be adopted prior to January 1 (or March 1 with consent of the Property
Appraiser and Tax Collector) of the year in which the Assessments are first collected on
the ad valorem tax bill. Any hearing or notice required by this Ordinance may be combined
with any other hearing or notice required by the Uniform Assessment Collection Act.
(B) The amount of an Assessment to be collected using the Uniform Assessment
Collection Act for any specific parcel of benefitted property may include an amount
equivalent to the payment delinquency, delinquency fees and recording costs for prior
years' assessment for a comparable service, facility, program, or Local Improvement
provided, (1) the collection method used in connection with the prior year's assessment
did not employ the use of the Uniform Assessment Collection Act, (2) notice is provided
to the Owner, and (3) any lien on the affected parcel for the prior year's assessment is
20
2409
supplanted and transferred to such Assessment upon certification of a non-ad valorem
roll to the Tax Collector by the County.
SECTION 4.02. GOVERNMENT PROPERTY. In lieu of using the Uniform
Assessment Collection Act to collect Assessments from Government Property, the
County may elect to use any other method authorized by law or provided by this Section
as follows:
(A) The County shall provide Assessment bills by first class mail to the Owner of
each affected parcel of Government Property. The bill or accompanying explanatory
material shall include (1) a brief explanation of the Assessment, (2) a description of the
unit of measurement used to determine the amount of the Assessment, (3) the number
of units contained within the parcel, (4) the total amount of the parcel's Assessment for
the appropriate period, (5) the location at which payment will be accepted, and (6) the
date on which the Assessment is due.
(B) Assessments imposed against Government Property shall be due on the
same date as all other Assessments and, if applicable, shall be subject to the same
discounts for early payment.
(C) An Assessment shall become delinquent if it is not paid within 30 days from
the date any installment is due. The County shall notify the Owner of any Government
Property that is delinquent in payment of its Assessment within 60 days from the date
such Assessment was due. Such notice shall state that the County will initiate a
mandamus or other appropriate judicial action to compel payment.
(D) All costs, fees and expenses, including reasonable attorney fees and title
search expenses, related to any mandamus or other action as described herein shall be
included in any judgment or decree rendered therein. All delinquent owners of
21
2410
Government Property against which a mandamus or other appropriate action is filed shall
be liable for an apportioned amount of reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the
County, including reasonable attorney fees, in collection of such delinquent Assessments
and any other costs incurred by the County as a result of such delinquent Assessments
and the same shall be collectible as a part of or in addition to, the costs of the action.
(E) As an alternative to the foregoing, an Assessment imposed against
Government Property may be collected on the bill for any utility service provided to such
Government Property. The Board may contract for such billing services with any utility not
owned by the County.
ARTICLE V

SECTION 5.01. GENERAL AUTHORITY.
(A) Upon adoption of the Final Assessment Resolution imposing Capital
Assessments to fund a Local Improvement or at any time thereafter, the Board shall have

time in series, for the issuance of Obligations to fund the Project Cost thereof.
(B) If issued, the principal of and interest on each series of Obligations shall be
payable from Pledged Revenue. At the option of the Board, the County may agree, by
resolution, to budget and appropriate funds to make up any deficiency in the reserve
account established for the Obligations or in the payment of the Obligations, from other
non-ad valorem revenue sources. The Board may also provide, by resolution, for a pledge
of or lien upon proceeds of such non-ad valorem revenue sources for the benefit of the
holders of the Obligations. Any such resolution shall determine the nature and extent of
any pledge of or lien upon proceeds of such non-ad valorem revenue sources.
22
2411
SECTION 5.02. TERMS OF THE OBLIGATIONS. If issued, the Obligations shall
be dated, shall bear interest at such rate or rates, shall mature at such times as may be
determined by resolution of the Board, and may be made redeemable before maturity, at
the option of the County, at such price or prices and under such terms and conditions, all
as may be fixed by the Board. Said Obligations shall mature not later than 40 years after
their issuance. The Board shall determine by resolution the form of the Obligations, the
manner of executing such Obligations, and shall fix the denominations of such
Obligations, the place or places of payment of the principal and interest, which may be at
any bank or trust company within or outside of the State of Florida, and such other terms
and provisions of the Obligations as it deems appropriate. The Obligations may be sold
at public or private sale for such price or prices as the Board shall determine by resolution.
The Obligations may be delivered to any contractor to pay for construction of the Local
Improvements or may be sold in such manner and for such price as the Board may
determine by resolution to be for the best interests of the County.
SECTION 5.03. VARIABLE RATE OBLIGATIONS. At the option of the Board,
Obligations may bear interest at a variable rate.
SECTION 5.04. TEMPORARY OBLIGATIONS. Prior to the preparation of
definitive Obligations of any series, the Board may, under like restrictions, issue interim
receipts, interim certificates, or temporary Obligations, exchangeable for definitive
Obligations when such Obligations have been executed and are available for delivery.
The Board may also provide for the replacement of any Obligations which shall become
mutilated, destroyed or lost. Obligations may be issued without any other proceedings or
the happening of any other conditions or things than those proceedings, conditions or
things which are specifically required by this Ordinance.
23
2412
SECTION 5.05. ANTICIPATION NOTES. In anticipation of the sale of Obligations,
the Board may, by resolution, issue notes and may renew the same from time to time.
Such notes may be paid from the proceeds of the Obligations, the proceeds of the Capital
Assessments, the proceeds of the notes and such other legally available money as the
Board deems appropriate by resolution. Said notes shall mature within five years of their
issuance and shall bear interest at a rate not exceeding the maximum rate provided by
law. The Board may issue Obligations or renewal notes to repay the notes. The notes
shall be issued in the same manner as the Obligations.
SECTION 5.06. TAXING POWER NOT PLEDGED. Obligations issued under
the provisions of this Ordinance shall not be deemed to constitute a general obligation or
pledge of the full faith and credit of the County within the meaning of the Constitution of
the State of Florida, but such Obligations shall be payable only from Pledged Revenue in
the manner provided herein and by the resolution authorizing the Obligations. The
issuance of Obligations under the provisions of this Ordinance shall not directly or
indirectly obligate the County to levy or to pledge any form of ad valorem taxation
whatever therefore. No holder of any such Obligations shall ever have the right to compel
any exercise of the ad valorem taxing power on the part of the County to pay any such
Obligations or the interest thereon or to enforce payment of such Obligations or the
interest thereon against any property of the County, nor shall such Obligations constitute
a charge, lien or encumbrance, legal or equitable, upon any property of the County,
except the Pledged Revenue.
SECTION 5.07. TRUST FUNDS. The Pledged Revenue received pursuant to the
authority of this Ordinance shall be deemed to be trust funds, to be held and applied solely
as provided in this Ordinance and in the resolution authorizing issuance of the
24
2413
Obligations. Such Pledged Revenue may be invested by the County, or its designee, in
the manner provided by the resolution authorizing issuance of the Obligations. The
Pledged Revenue upon receipt thereof by the County shall be subject to the lien and
pledge of the holders of any Obligations or any entity other than the County providing
credit enhancement on the Obligations.
SECTION 5.08. REMEDIES OF HOLDERS. Any holder of Obligations, except to
the extent the rights herein given may be restricted by the resolution authorizing issuance
of the Obligations, may, whether at law or in equity, by suit, action, mandamus or other
proceedings, protect and enforce any and all rights under the laws of the State of Florida
or granted hereunder or under such resolution, and may enforce and compel the
performance of all duties required by this part, or by such resolution, to be performed by
the County.
SECTION 5.09. REFUNDING OBLIGATIONS. The County may, by resolution
of the Board, issue Obligations to refund any Obligations issued pursuant to this
Ordinance, or any other obligations of the County theretofore issued to finance the Project
Cost of a Local Improvement and provide for the rights of the holders hereof. Such
refunding Obligations may be issued in an amount sufficient to provide for the payment
of the principal of, redemption premium, if any, and interest on the outstanding Obligations
to be refunded. If the issuance of such refunding Obligations results in an annual
Assessment that exceeds the estimated maximum annual Capital Assessments set forth
in the notice provided pursuant to Section 3.05 hereof, the Board shall provide notice to
the affected property owners and conduct a public hearing in the manner required by
Article IV of this Ordinance.
