Bill > H4019

This bill modifies the taxation provisions for the Central Broward Water Control District in Broward County, Florida. Specifically, the bill removes the words "only" and "not" from the existing language about tax levies, and changes "assessed" to "taxable" when referring to property valuation. This subtle change appears to provide the district's board of commissioners with slightly more flexibility in how they can levy taxes on land and improvements within the district. The bill maintains the existing maximum tax rate of 5 mills per dollar of taxable valuation and preserves the current process where taxes are certified to the Broward County Property Appraiser, placed on tax rolls, and collected by the Revenue Tax Collector. The taxes will continue to become a lien against properties within the district's boundaries and will be enforceable under Florida state law. The bill will take effect immediately upon becoming law, which is typical for local government and special district legislation.
