ENCLOSURES:
i
RECOMMENDATION
It is respectfully requested that the City Commission approve the amendments, as
proposed, to the Garbage and Other Solid Waste Ordinance (Chapter 22 of the City's Code
of Ordinances). These amendments formalize the action taken by the City Commission in
January of this you by authorizing. the placement of resido7ntial solid waste bills on the
property tax bill as a non add -valorem assessrnerat, pusher, this action does not preclude the,
City Commission from returning to direct billing should it desire to do so in the future..
BACKGROUND
Currently, solid waste fees are collected through two separate billings per year, The
resolution approved by the City Commission acknowledged the efficiency of eliminating
these two separate billings for consolidation into the property tax, bill.
ZJsing this method of collection also allows residents to pay this assessment through their
mortgage company which could expand their payments over a 12 -month period versus two
semi-annual payments. Further, for those Haat do not pay through a mortgage compm-ly, the
opportunity to spread the payments quarterly is also afforded through the County.

(b) "Local government" means a county, municipality, or special district levying non -ad
valorem assessments.
(c) "Local governing board" means a governing board of a local government.
(d) "Non -ad valorem assessment" means only those assessments which are not based upon
millage and which can become a lien against a homestead as permitted in s. 4, Art. X of the State
Constitution.
(e) "Non -ad valorem assessment roll" means the roll prepared by a local government and
certified to the tax collector for collection.
(f) "Compatible electronic medium" or "media" means machine-readable electronic
repositories of data and information, including, but not limited to, magnetic disk, magnetic tape,
and magnetic diskette technologies, which provide without modification that the data and
information therein are in harmony with and can be used in concert with the data and information
on the ad valorem tax roll keyed to the property identification number used by the property
appraiser.
(g) "Capital project assessment" means a non -ad valorem assessment levied to fund a capital
project, which assessment may be payable in annual payments with interest, over a period of
years.
(2) A local governing board shall enter into a written agreement with the property appraiser
and tax collector providing for reimbursement of necessary administrative costs incurred under this
section. Administrative costs shall include, but not be limited to, those costs associated with
personnel, forms, supplies, data processing, computer equipment, postage, and programming.
(3)(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary, a local government which is
authorized to impose a non -ad valorem assessment and which elects to use the uniform method of
collecting such assessment for the first time as authorized in this section shall adopt a resolution at
a public hearing prior to January 1 or, if the property appraiser, tax collector, and local
government agree, March 1. The resolution shall clearly state its intent to use the uniform method
of collecting such assessment. The local government shall publish notice of its intent to use the

addresses of the owners of such property. Such information shall reference the property
identification number and otherwise conform in format to that contained on the ad valorem roll
submitted to the department. The property appraiser is not required to submit information which
is not on the ad valorem roll or compatible electronic medium submitted to the department. If the
local government determines that the information supplied by the property appraiser is insufficient

any other source.
(4)(a) A local government shall adopt a non -ad valorem assessment roll at a public hearing held
between January 1 and September 15, or between January 1 and September 25 for any county as

county contained in the boundaries of the local government. The notice by mail shall be sent to
each person owning property subject to the assessment and shall include the following information:

measurement to be applied against each parcel to determine the assessment; the number of such
units contained within each parcel; the total revenue the local government will collect by the

against the property which may result in a loss of title; a statement that all affected property
owners have a right to appear at the hearing and to file written objections with the local governing
board within 20 days of the notice; and the date, time, and place of the hearing. However, notice
by mail shall not be required if notice by mail is otherwise required by general or special law
governing a taxing authority and such notice is served at least 30 days prior to the authority's
public hearing on adoption of a new or amended non-ad valorem assessment roll. 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
Me written objections within 20 days of the publication of the notice.
(c) At the public hearing, the local governing board shall receive the written objections and
shall hear testimony from all interested persons. The local governing board may adjourn the
hearing from time to time. If the local governing board adopts the non-ad valorem assessment roll,
it shall specify the unit of measurement for the assessment and the amount of the assessment.

the assessment or the application of the assessment to any affected property based on the benefit
which the board will provide or has provided to the property with the revenue generated by the
assessment.
1(5)(a) By September 15 of each year, or by September 25 for any county as defined in
s. 125.011 (1), the chair of the local governing board or his or her designee shall certify a non -ad
valorem assessment roll on compatible electronic medium to the tax collector. The local
government shall post the non -ad valorem assessment for each parcel on the roll. The tax collector
shall not accept any such roll that is not certified on compatible electronic medium and that does
not contain the posting of the non -ad valorem assessment for each parcel. It is the responsibility of
the local governing board that such roll be free of errors and omissions. Alterations to such roll may
be made by the chair or his or her designee up to 10 days before certification. If the tax collector
discovers errors or omissions on such roll, he or she may request the local governing board to file a
corrected roll or a correction of the amount of any assessment.
(b) Beginning in 2009, by December 15 of each year, the tax collector shalt provide to the
department a copy of each local governing board's non -ad valorem assessment roll containing the
data elements and in the format prescribed by the executive director. In addition, beginning in
2008, a report shall be provided to the department by December 15 of each year for each non -ad
valorem assessment roll, including, but not limited to, the following information:
1. The name and type of local governing board levying the non -ad valorem assessment;
2. Whether or not the local government levies a property tax;
3. The basis for the levy;
4. The rate of assessment;
5. The total amount of non -ad valorem assessment levied; and
6. The number of parcels affected.
(6) If the non -ad valorem assessment is to be collected for a period of more than 1 year or is to
be amortized over a number of years, the local governing board shall so specify and shall not be
required to annually adopt the non -ad valorem assessment roll, and shall not be required to
provide individual notices to each taxpayer unless the provisions of subsection (4) apply. Notice of
an assessment, other than that which is required under subsection (4), may be provided by
including the assessment in the property appraiser's notice of proposed property taxes and
proposed or adopted non -ad valorem assessments under s. 200.069. However, the local governing
board shall inform the property appraiser, tax collector, and department by January 10 if it intends
to discontinue using the uniform method of collecting such assessment.
(7) Non -ad valorem assessments collected pursuant to this section shall be included in the
combined notice for ad valorem taxes and non -ad valorem assessments provided for in s. 197.3635.
A separate mailing is authorized only as a solution to the most exigent factual circumstances.
However, if a tax collector cannot merge a non -ad valorem assessment roll to produce such a
notice, he or she shall mail a separate notice of non -ad valorem assessments or shall direct the
local government to mail such a separate notice. In deciding whether a separate mailing is
necessary, the tax collector shall consider all costs to the local government and taxpayers of such a
separate mailing and the adverse effects to the taxpayers of delayed and multiple notices. The
Local government whose roll could not be merged shall bear all costs associated with the separate
notice.
(8)(a) Non -ad valorem assessments collected pursuant to this section shall be subject to all
collection provisions of this chapter, including provisions relating to discount for early payment,
prepayment by installment method, deferred payment, penalty for delinquent payment, and
issuance and sale of tax certificates and tax deeds for nonpayment.
(b) Within 30 days following the hearing provided in subsection (4), any person having any right,
title, or interest in any parcel against which an assessment has been levied may elect to prepay the
same in whole, and the amount of such assessment shall be the full amount levied, reduced, if the
local government so provides, by a discount equal to any portion of the assessment which is
attributable to the parcel's proportionate share of any bond financing costs, provided the errors
and insolvency procedures available for use in the collection of ad valorem taxes pursuant to
s. 197.492 are followed.
(c) Non -ad valorem assessments shall also be subject to the provisions of s. 192.091(2)(b), or
the tax collector at his or her option shall be compensated for the collection of non -ad valorem
assessments based on the actual cost of collection, whichever is greater. However, a municipal or
county government shall only compensate the tax collector for the actual cost of collecting non -ad
valorem assessments.
(9) A local government may elect to use the uniform method of collecting non -ad valorem
assessments as authorized by this section for any assessment levied pursuant to general or special
Law or local government ordinance or resolution, regardless of when the assessment was initially
imposed or whether it has previously been collected by another method.
(10)(a) Capital project assessments may be levied and collected before the completion of the
capital project.
(b)1. Except as provided in this subsection, the local government shall comply with all of the
requirements set forth in subsections (1)-(8) for capital project assessments.
2. The requirements set forth in subsection (4) are satisfied for capital project assessments if:
a. The local government adopts or reaffirms the non -ad valorem assessment roll at a public
hearing held at any time before certification of the non -ad valorem assessment roll pursuant to
subsection (5) for the first year in which the capital project assessment is to be collected in the
manner authorized by this section; and
b. The local government provides notice of the public hearing in the manner provided in
paragraph (4)(b).
3. The local government is not required to allow prepayment for capital project assessments as
set forth in paragraph (8)(b); however, if prepayment is allowed, the errors and insolvency
procedures available for use in the collection of ad va€orem taxes pursuant to s. 197.492 must be
followed.
(c) Any hearing or notice required by this section may be combined with any other hearing or
notice required by this section or by the general or special law or municipal or county ordinance
pursuant to which a capital project assessment is levied.
(11) The department shall adopt rules to administer this section.

governments in operating their solid waste management systems,
(2)(a) Each municipality shall establish a system to inform, no less than once a year, residential
and nonresidential users of solid waste management services within the municipality's service area
of the user's share, on an average or individual basis, of the full cost for solid waste management
as determined pursuant to subsection (1). Counties shall provide the information required of
municipalities only to residential and nonresidential users of solid waste management services
within the county's service area that are not served by a municipality. Municipalities shall include
costs charged to them or persons contracting with them for disposal of solid waste in the full cost
information provided to residential and nonresidential users of solid waste management services.
(b) Counties and municipalities are encouraged to operate their solid waste management
systems through use of an enterprise fund.
(3) For purposes of this section, "service area" means the area in which the county or
municipality provides, directly or by contract, solid waste management services. The provisions of
this section shall not be construed to require a person operating under a franchise agreement to
collect or dispose of solid waste within the service area of a county or municipality to make the
calculations or to establish a system to provide the information required under this section, unless
such person agrees to do so as part of such franchise agreement.
(4) Each county and each municipality which provides solid waste collection services, either
through its own operations or by contract, is encouraged to charge fees to each residential and
nonresidential user of the solid waste collection service which vary based upon the volume or
weight of solid waste that is collected from each user.
(5) In order to assist in achieving the municipal solid waste reduction goal and the recycling
provisions of s. 403.706(2), a county or a municipality which owns or operates a solid waste
management facility is hereby authorized to charge solid waste disposal fees which may vary based
on a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the amount, characteristics, and form of
recyclable materials present in the solid waste that is brought to the county's or the municipality's
facility for processing or disposal.
(b) In addition to all other fees required or allowed by law, a county or a municipality, at the
discretion of its governing body, may impose a fee for the services the county or municipality
provides with regard to the collection, processing, or disposal of solid waste, to be used for
developing and implementing a recycling program. For such fees, the local governing body of any
county or municipality may use the non -ad valorem levy, collection, and enforcement method as
provided for in chapter 197.
(7) This section does not prohibit a county, municipality, or other person from providing grants,
loans, or other aid to low-income persons to pay part or all of the costs of such persons' solid waste
management services.
