Board of County Commissioners Meeting of the Special Districts · 2026-06-16 · agenda_item

The Istokpoga Marsh Watershed Improvement District, managed by the Highlands County Board of County Commissioners, is planning to impose assessments on non-agriculturally classified properties and levy taxes on agriculturally classified properties for the fiscal year beginning October 1, 2026. This initiative will fund property ownership, construction, operation, and maintenance of flood and erosion control, surface water management, water quality improvements, reclamation and irrigation facilities, and public roads. The process is currently under review, with a public hearing scheduled for July 21, 2026, to discuss proposed assessments. This project will involve work related to flood control, water management systems, and public road infrastructure. Contractors specializing in site preparation, grading, utility work, paving, and general construction, along with suppliers of related materials, could find opportunities. Engaging early, before final plans and permits are set, offers the best chance to compete for this work.
