Bill > S0118

This bill modifies existing Florida law to limit how local governments and special districts can levy assessments on recreational vehicle (RV) parks, which are facilities regulated under chapter 513 of Florida Statutes. Specifically, it changes the language from "shall" to "may" in sections concerning counties, municipalities, and special districts, indicating these entities now have the option rather than the requirement to levy certain assessments. Crucially, the bill prohibits these entities from levying assessments on a square footage basis for more than 400 square feet per RV parking space or campsite, and clarifies that RV parks should be assessed as commercial entities, similar to hotels or motels, rather than as residential units. These changes are intended to provide a more consistent and fair assessment method for RV parks and will apply starting with the 2026 property tax roll.
