Annual assessments will be collected on the ad valorem tax bill, as authorized by Section 197.3632, Florida Statutes, for a period of fifteen (15) years, commencing with the ad valorem tax bill to be mailed in October or November 2006. The method of computing the annual assessment for any parcel of real property to which the Property Appraiser has assigned a distinct ad valorem property tax identification number is set forth in Resolution No. 06-1144.

The City Commission will adopt an annual assessment resolution for each fiscal year. Upon adoption of each annual assessment resolution, assessments shall constitute a lien against assessed real property equal in rank and dignity with the liens of all state, county, district or municipal taxes and other non -ad valorem assessments.
