Section 6. Impact fees.-- |
212
|
(1) Pursuant to section 191.009(4), Florida Statutes, it |
213
|
is hereby declared that the cost of new facilities upon fire |
214
|
protection and emergency service should be borne by new users of |
215
|
the district’s services to the extent new construction requires |
216
|
new facilities, but only to that extent. It is the legislative |
217
|
intent of this section to transfer to the new users of the |
218
|
district’s fire protection and emergency services a fair share |
219
|
of the costs that new users impose on the district for new |
220
|
facilities. This section shall only apply in the event that the |
221
|
general purpose local government in which the district is |
222

223
|
distributed to the district for construction within its |
224
|
jurisdictional boundaries.
|

|
(2) The impact fees collected by the district pursuant to |
226
|
this section shall be kept as a separate fund from other |
227
|
revenues of the district and shall be used exclusively for the |
228
|
acquisition, purchase, or construction of new facilities or |
229
|
portions thereof required to provide fire protection and |
230
|
emergency service to new construction. “New facilities” means |
231
|
land, buildings, and capital equipment, including, but not |
232
|
limited to, fire and emergency vehicles and radio telemetry |
233
|
equipment. The fees shall not be used for the acquisition, |
234
|
purchase, or construction of facilities which must be obtained |
235
|
in any event, regardless of growth within the district. The |
236
|
board of fire commissioners shall maintain adequate records to |
237
|
ensure that impact fees are expended only for permissible new |
238
|
facilities.
|
239
|
Section 7. Ad valorem taxes a lien.--The taxes levied and |
240
|
assessed by the district shall be a lien upon the land so |
241
|
assessed along with the county taxes assessed against such land |
242
|
until said assessments and taxes have been paid, and if the |
243
|
taxes levied by the district become delinquent, such taxes shall |
244
|
be considered a part of the county tax subject to the same |
245
|
penalties, charges, fees, and remedies for enforcement and |
246
|
collection and shall be enforced and collected as provided by |
247
|
general law for the collection of such taxes.

258
|
the board.

|
260

total annual budgeted revenues of the district for the year in |
268

|
amount which they are unable to repay out of district funds then |
275
|
in their hands except as otherwise provided in this act; |
276
|
provided, however, that the commissioners may make purchases of |

such equipment plus the amount due in that year of any other |

281
|
existing indebtedness which may be due in that year.
