B. The estimated Fire Services Special Assessment to be assessed and apportioned

June 16, 2026 City Council Regular Session · 2026-06-16 · agenda_item

The City of Mount Dora is establishing preliminary fire services special assessment rates for the fiscal year beginning October 1, 2026. This action is part of a preliminary rate resolution process. The proposed rates include $239.00 per dwelling unit for residential properties and varying rates per square foot for commercial, industrial/warehouse, and institutional properties. The estimated net revenue from these assessments is projected to be $2,374,840. This item is currently under review by the City Council. While no specific construction project is detailed, the establishment of these assessment rates indicates future needs for fire services and potentially related infrastructure or operational planning. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers in fields such as emergency services, public safety equipment, and potentially construction related to service expansion may find opportunities by engaging with the city early in this planning phase.
