Body
Request Action:
Ordinance required by Florida Statutes, Section 197.3632 in order to adopt, approve, and certify the assessment roll and re-impose the uniform method for collecting non-ad valorem special assessments on Annual Broward County Tax Bill for the costs and expenses associated with the operation of the Manors of Inverrary Safe Neighborhood Improvement District Area.
Need Summary Explanation/ Background:
The City of Lauderhill is re-imposing non-ad valorem special assessments in the amounts voted upon at the public hearing per parcel per year based upon the designated categories broken down by building for the properties located within the Manors of Inverrary Designated Safe Neighborhood Improvement District Area. The Assessment Roll must be certified prior to September 15, 2025.
The City Commission of the City of Lauderhill previously passed its Intent Resolution to impose the uniform method of collecting non-ad valorem special assessments for the costs and expenses associated with the operation of the Safe Neighborhood Improvement District providing that owner’s within the designated District Area would be billed a one-time lump sum figure on the owner’s annual tax bill that is sent by the Broward County Tax Collector. This non-ad valorem special assessment is authorized pursuant to Florida Statutes, Section 197.3632. This Ordinance approving, certifying and re-imposing the non-ad valorem special assessment was considered at a virtual public hearing enabling members of the public to have their comments and objections considered which was held on September 12, 2025 prior to the consideration of the adoption of the first reading of this Ordinance. All owners were provided notice of the estimated assessment at the rate. Notice was sent to each individual property owner within the Designated District Area via the TRIM Notice sent by the Broward County Appraiser’s Office with the maximum limit per law. Notice was also published in the Newspaper providing the original estimated assessment rate that was passed via the Preliminary Assessment Rate Resolution No. 25R-07-137 on July 15, 2025 which included notice of the fact that they had a right to file written objections and to appear and to be heard at the virtual public hearings. The Manors of Inverrary Advisory Council requested a Condo I Category non ad valorem special assessment of FOUR Hundred Dollars and No Cents ($400.00) and zero (0) Mills, and a Condo XI non ad valorem special assessment of FOUR Hundred Dollars and No Cents ($400.00) and zero (0) Mills, and a Master Association Category non ad-valorem special assessment of ONE HUNDRED Dollars ($100.00) and zero (0) mills to be assessed this year, and a Condo XII non ad valorem special assessment of non ad-valorem special assessment of Zero Dollars ($00.00) and zero (0) mills.
Cost Summary/ Fiscal Impact:
The amount of revenues to be collected will depend on the actual annual non-ad valorem special assessment rates that are assessed. Additional revenues in an unknown amount may also be realized with the interest earned on the potential investment of these monies if permitted. The revenue expected to be collected from Condo I is $192,448.00, from Condo XI is $57,036.00 and from the Master is Zero Dollars $86,621.00 and for Condo XII is $0.00. This takes into account the discount for early payments. The total anticipated revenue to be collected from Condo I, THE MASTER and Condo XI combined is $336,105.00.
