NOTICE OF HEARING TO REIMPOSE AND PROVIDE FOR COLLECTION OF MAINTENANCE ASSESSMENTS IN THE TK BASIN MAINTENANCE ASSESSMENT AREA
Notice is hereby given that the City Commission of the City of Alachua, Florida will conduct a public hearing to consider reimposition of maintenance special assessments in the TK Basin Maintenance Assessment Area, as shown above, to continue funding the maintenance and operating costs of the TK stormwater basin within the Maintenance Assessment Area. The hearing will be held at 6:00 P.M., or as soon thereafter as the matter can be heard, on September 8, 2025, in the James A. Lewis Commission Chambers, at the Alachua City Hall located at 15100 NW 142nd Terrace, Alachua, Florida, for the purpose of receiving public comment on the reimposition and collection of the maintenance assessments on the ad valorem tax bill. All affected real property owners have a right to appear at the hearing and to file written objections with the Deputy City Clerk any time prior to the public hearing. If a person decides to appeal any decision made by the City Commission with respect to any matter considered at the hearing, such person will need a record of the proceedings and may need to ensure that a verbatim record is made, including the testimony and evidence upon which the appeal is to be made. In accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, persons needing a special accommodation or an interpreter to participate in this proceeding should contact the Deputy City Clerk's office at (386) 418-6103, at least two (2) business days prior to the date of the hearing.
The assessment for each parcel of real property is based on each parcel’s percentage of the total land acreage within the TK watershed. A more specific description of the maintenance costs and the method of computing the assessment for each parcel of real property are set forth in the Initial Assessment Resolution (Resolution No. 10-20). Copies of the Master Capital Project and Service Assessment Ordinance (Ordinance No. 10-13), the Initial Assessment Resolution, the Final Assessment Resolution (Resolution No. 10-25), the Preliminary Rate Resolution (Resolution No. 25-13), and the updated Maintenance Assessment Roll are available for inspection at the office of the Deputy City Clerk, located at City Hall, 15100 NW 142nd Terrace, Alachua, Florida.
The City intends to continue collection of the maintenance assessments on your ad valorem tax bill to be mailed in November 2025, as authorized by Section 197.3632, Florida Statutes. Failure to pay the assessments will cause a tax certificate to be issued against the real property which may result in a loss of title. Unless proper steps are initiated in a court of competent jurisdiction to secure relief within 20 days from the date of City Commission’s action at the above hearing (including the method of apportionment, the rate of assessment and the imposition of assessments), such action shall be the final adjudication of the issues presented.
If you have any questions, please contact the Deputy City Clerk at (386) 418-6103, Monday through Thursday between 7:30 a.m. and 6:00 p.m.
