Pursuant to Section 8 of the Preliminary Rate Resolution
(Resolution No. 04- ), the City Commission has ascertained,
determined, and declared that Institutional Properties provide
facilities and uses to the ownership, occupants, membership, as
well as the public in general that otherwise might be requested or
B-2
required to be provided by the City and such use thereof serves a
legitimate public purpose and provides a public benefit.
Therefore, it is fair and reasonable not to impose Fire Assessments
upon such Institutional Property whose use is also wholly exempt
from ad valorem taxation under Florida Law, which typically
describes improved parcels which are neither residential,
commercial or industrial in use, and are predominately used for
educational, governmental, eleemosynary, community service,
religious, cultural, literary, health care, benevolent and
scientific purposes.
Pursuant to Section 8 of the Preliminary Rate Resolution the
City Commission has ascertained, determined, and declared that
Public Housing Property relieves a shortage of safe or sanitary
dwelling accommodations available at rents which persons of low
income can afford and avoids conditions which otherwise might
necessitate the further expenditure of public funds. Therefore, it
is fair and reasonable not to impose Fire Assessments upon Public
Housing Property.
Any shortfall in the expected Fire Assessment proceeds due to
any reduction or exemption from payment of the Fire Assessments
required by law or authorized by the City Commission shall be
supplemented by any legally available funds, or combination of such
funds, and shall not be paid for by proceeds of funds derived from
the Fire Assessments. The City Commission has also made the
legislative determination that in the event a court of competent
jurisdiction determines any exemption or reduction by the City
B-3
Commission is improper or otherwise adversely affects the validity
of the Fire Assessments imposed for this Fiscal Year, the sole and
exclusive remedy shall be the imposition of a Fire Assessment upon
each affected tax parcel in the amount of the Fire Assessment that
would have been otherwise imposed save and except for such
reduction or exemption afforded to such tax parcel by the City
Commission.
Copies of the Fire Rescue Assessment Ordinance (Ordinance
No. 11584), the Initial Assessment Resolution (Resolution
No. 98-325), the Final Assessment Resolution (Resolution
No. 98-419), the Preliminary Rate Resolution (Resolution
No. 04- ), and the amendment thereto, initiating the annual
process of updating the Assessment Roll and imposing the Fire
Assessments, and the preliminary Assessment Roll for the upcoming
fiscal year are available for inspection at the Office of the City
Clerk of Miami, Florida, 3500 Pan American Drive, Miami, Florida.
The assessments will be collected on the ad valorem tax bill
to be mailed in November 2004, as authorized by Section 197.3632,
Florida Statutes. Failure to pay the assessments will cause a tax
certificate to be issued against the property which may result in a
loss of title.
If you have any questions, please contact the Department of
Finance at (305) 416-1570, Monday through Friday between 8:30 a.m.
and 4:30 p.m.
