The proposed 2025 (FY2026) special assessment will be based upon an assessment rate of $0.1325 per $ 1,000 of assessed value of each benefitted parcel of property subject to the assessment (sec the total specific assessment for your property above), which will generate approximately $871,328 in total revenue for the 2026 Fiscal Year (FY) to be used to pay for certain enhanced services and improvements in the Westshore area of the City of Tampa including transportation improvements, marketing and security services and related administrative costs. The assessment will be collected by the tax collector as part of the real property owners' ad-valorem tax bills.
