The amount of the assessment will be the same amount as levied for the last Fiscal Year. A public hearing will be held September 3, 2013 at 6:00 p.m., in the Crestview Court House, at 101 East James Lee Boulevard Crestview, FL a______., or as soon thereafter as the matter can be heard, on, for the purpose of receiving public comment on the proposed assessments, including the collection on the ad valorem tax bill.

All affected property owners have a right to appear at the hearing and to file written objections with the Board of County Commissioners within twenty days of the publication of this notice.

The assessments are proposed to fund the restoration of the beach within the Destin Subarea of the MSBU ("Destin Restoration Project"). The assessment for each parcel of property will depend on the benefits accruing to the property based upon the B-1 Packet Pg. 242 parcel’s location in relation to the Destin Restoration Project, the number of dwelling units, the parcel size and the use of the property. All property being assessed within the Destin Subarea will be subject to a Recreation Area Assessment. Additionally, parcels being assessed within the Destin Subarea of the MSBU located on the beach shall be within the Storm Damage Reduction Area, and subject to an additional assessment. A more specific description of the methodology is contained in the Funding Feasibility Study. Additionally, as the amount of the assessment varies among the benefited properties through the consideration of various factors, the maximum annual amount of the assessment for each property also varies. Therefore, the maximum annual assessment for each specific property is contained in the updated Assessment Roll for the Fiscal Year commencing October 1, 2013. The Funding Feasibility Study, the updated Assessment Roll, the MSBU Ordinance and all relevant County resolutions are available for inspection at the Office of the County Administrator, 1804 Lewis Turner Boulevard, Suite 400, Ft. Walton Beach, Florida 32547, and at the Emerald Coast Convention & Visitors Bureau, located at 1540 Miracle Strip Parkway, Ft. Walton Beach, Florida 32548. The County intends to finance the Destin Restoration Project over a period of eight years, commencing with the 2008 Fiscal Year. The assessments will be collected in eight annual assessments on the ad valorem tax bill, pursuant to section 197.3632, Florida Statutes, beginning in November 2008 and continuing annually thereafter for the remainder of the assessment period. Failure to pay the assessments will cause a tax certificate to be issued against the property which may result in a loss of title. Questions regarding the assessment and the process for collection may be directed to (850) 651-7131.
