NOTICE OF TAMPA CITY COUNCIL PUBLIC HEARING FOR ADOPTION OF THE SPECIAL ASSESSMENT WITHIN THE WESTSHORE AREA OF THE CITY OF TAMPA TO PAY FOR ENHANCED SERVICES

On August 25, 2022, at 9:30 a.m., or as soon thereafter as practicable, the City Council for the City of Tampa, Florida, shall conduct a public hearing in City Council Chambers, 315 E. Kennedy Boulevard, Tampa, FL 33602, to consider the adoption of a non-ad valorem (special) assessment roll for a 2022 (FY 2023) non-ad valorem (special) assessment within the Westshore area of the City of Tampa, the boundaries of which are identified on the map included in this notice. 

The proposed 2022 (FY 2023) special assessment will be based upon an assessment rate of $0.1325 per $1,000 of assessed value of all property subject to the assessment and will generate approximately $792,662 in total revenue 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 during the 2023 Fiscal Year (FY).

The proposed assessment will be collected by the Tax Collector as part of real property owners’ ad-valorem tax bills.  Failure to pay the assessment will cause a tax certificate to be issued against the property, which may result in a loss of title.

All affected property owners may participate at the public hearing above either in person or virtually through communications media technology (CMT).  Instructions for participation by CMT are available at www.tampa.gov/city-council/quasi.  Pre-registration is also required for participation by CMT. 

Written objections must be filed with the City Council within twenty (20) days of this published notice. Please include your name and parcel number on all correspondence and address as follows: Revenue and Finance, Budget Officer, Comments to Non-Ad Valorem Assessments, 306 E. Jackson St., 8th Floor East, Tampa, FL 33602.

If any person decides to appeal any decision made by the City Council with respect to any matter considered at the hearing, he or she 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.
