Stormwater Utility Data Management-Assessment Roll Production

Description

The City of Tampa, Florida, (City) established its Stormwater Utility and implemented its annual stormwater utility non-ad valorem service assessment in 2003 for City-wide maintenance of the City’s stormwater system. In 2016, the City adopted its second stormwater assessment, a 30-year improvement assessment implemented in the Central and Lower basin area, established at that time for Capital Improvement projects. The City uses the Uniform method for the levy, collection, and enforcement of non-ad valorem assessments pursuant to section 197.3632, Florida Statutes. Each year, the City updates its Assessment rolls according to the changes in the character and impervious areas assigned to the properties in the assessment areas. A public hearing is advertised, and notices for the hearing may be required to be delivered to the property owner pursuant to law and ordinance in a time-sensitive manner. The final rolls are adopted by the Tampa City Council at the public hearing. The data rolls are delivered to the Hillsborough County Tax Collector as required by the Uniform Method of Collection, and in accordance with the Hillsborough County Tax Collector Non-Ad Valorem (NAV) Program.
