Non-Ad Valorem Assessment Notice

There are two annual Non-Ad Valorem assessments from the St. Lucie West Services District, included in your annual property tax bill:
-
Benefit Assessment: This funds special projects that benefit either the entire District or specific areas within it. An example is the Post Office Ditch Project, which benefited the entire District.
-
Maintenance Assessment: This supports the ongoing operations and maintenance of stormwater systems, retention ponds, wetlands, upland preserves, and rights-of-ways. These are vital, especially during storm/hurricane season—to prevent/mitigate flooding.
These fees are separate charges from your monthly water bill and is paid once a year through your property tax bill.
The following contains the Notice to Property Owners to Levy Non-Ad Valorem Assessments.
