The purpose of the public hearing is to consider the adoption of a resolution authorizing Village Community Development District No. 16 to use the uniform method of collection to collect its non-ad valorem assessments, levied by Village Community Development District No. 16 as provided in Section 197.3632, Florida Statutes. Village Community Development District No. 16 intends to use the uniform method of collection, for a period of more than one year which may include its non-ad valorem assessment for maintenance or capital facilities or both. Village Community Development District No. 16 has adopted a new non-ad valorem assessment for financing of certain projects, authorized under Chapter 190, Florida Statutes, which will extend for more than one year and further, Village Community Development District No. 16 plans to utilize the non-ad valorem assessment method to collect its annual maintenance assessment which also will be for a period of more than one year. The non-ad valorem assessments will be collected using the uniform method for the first time in Village Community Development District 16. The uniform method provided for in Section 197.3632, Florida Statutes, authorizes the District to utilize the services of the property appraiser and tax collector in levying and collecting its non-ad valorem assessment for benefit and maintenance assessments and special assessments which will appear under a separate section of the property tax bill. The Districts non-ad valorem assessment(s) shall be subject to the same discounts and penalties and the issuance and sale of tax certificates and tax deeds for non-payment as ad valorem taxes. The non-payment of said non-ad valorem assessments will subject the property owner to potential loss of title. Interested parties may appear at the public hearing to be heard regarding the use of the uniform method of collecting such non-ad valorem assessments. Each person who decides to appeal any decision made by the Board with respect to any matter considered at the meeting is advised that person will need a record of the proceedings and that accordingly, the person may need to ensure that a verbatim record of the proceedings is made at their expense including the testimony and evidence upon which such appeal is to be based.
