NOTICE OF HEARING TO IMPOSE AND PROVIDE FOR COLLECTION OF NON -AD VALOREM SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS TO FUND STREET LIGHTING SERVICES The City of Casselberry, Florida (the "City") imposes annual non -ad valorem special assessments to fund the provision of street lighting services each year. Notice is hereby given that the City Commission will conduct a public hearing to consider adoption of an annual rate resolution approving the rate of the street lighting assessment for the fiscal year commencing October 1, 2023 ("Fiscal Year 2023-24"). The annual rate resolution will provide for the imposition of special assessments, sometimes characterized as non -ad valorem assessments, against property located within City limits to fund street lighting services, and collection of the assessments by the Seminole County Tax Collector pursuant to the tax bill collection method described in Section 5.01 of City Ordinance No. 09-1301 (the "Assessment Ordinance"). The assessment is an annual assessment that will continue from year to year. The hearing will be held at 5:30 p.m. on August 28, 2023, in City Commission Chambers of City Hall, 95 Triplet Lake Drive, Casselberry, Florida 32707. All affected property owners have a right to appear at the hearing and to file written objections with the City Commission within twenty (20) days of this notice. The assessments have been proposed to fund street lighting related essential services, facilities, equipment and improvements throughout the City. The assessment will be based upon the number of Equivalent Residential Units ("ERUs") attributable to each tax parcel as of the date the assessments are imposed. The City has determined that the size of the average single family residential parcel in the Citv is .26 acres; which is the value of one ERU. Single family residential parcels consisting of one dwelling unit, including individual residential condominium units, shall each be attributed one ERU. For all other parcels, the number of ERUs has been calculated individually for each parcel of property by dividing the total size of the parcel in acres by .26 acres, with a minimum of one (1) ERU attributed to each parcel. If approved by City Commission, the street lighting assessment will be imposed at the rate of $42.86 per ERU for Fiscal Year 2023-24. A more specific description of the street lighting related services and the method of computing the assessment for each parcel of property are set forth in Resolution 23-3357 (the "Preliminary Rate Resolution") adopted by the City Commission on July 24, 2023.
