commission Memorandum - October 20, 1993
Normandy Shores
The $500 limitation on the ad valorem tax levy will limit the
millage rate that can be levied on the District. This millage rate
of 1.054 mills is determined from the value of the property with
the highest taxable assessed value (after a $25,000 Homestead
exemption) within the District. This parcel of property, as of the
July 1, 1993 preliminary certification from the Dade County
Property Appraiser has a taxable assessed value of $474,064. In
order to pay no more than $500 per year, the ad valorem tax levy
cannot exceed 1.054 mills on this parcel of property. Based on an
ad valorem tax levy of 1.054 mills, this property owner will pay
$499.66 per year tor the proposed services. Further, state Law
requires that the millage levy within a district be uniform.
Therefore, the property which has the lowest taxable assessed value
of $54,762 will pay $58 per year based on an ad valorem tax levy of
1. 054 mills.
The total taxable assessed value of the 351 parcels of property
within the District is $49.6 million which will generate tax
revenues of $52,000 based on an ad valorem tax levy of 1.054 mills.
The estimated annual operating and maintenance cost of $80,000 will
be supplemented by an estimated annual payment of $28,000 from the
Normandy Shores Golf Course which will benefit from the additional
security. This payment will be made from the Parks Division. There
will be no impact on fees charged to golfers as a result of this
cost.
In order to comply with the provisions of State of Florida Truth in
Millage requirements, this ad valorem tax will be levied for the
fiscal year beginning October 1, 1994. The ad valorem tax levy will
be for the tax roll established for the District as of January 1,
1994 and will be based on the preliminary certification of value of
the District as determined by the Dade County Property Appraiser as
of July 1, 1994. Further, this ad valorem tax levy will be subject
to two public hearings prior to any tax levy by the District Board.
These hearings will be incorporated into the annual budget process.
CONCLUSION:
The City Commission should adopt the attached ordinance creating
the Normandy Shores Neighborhood Improvement District, thereby
providing for the improved health, safety and general welfare of
the residents within the district.
