SET FUTURE PUBLIC HEARINGS OR MEETINGS

Board of County Commissioners Regular Meeting · 2026-05-26 · agenda_item

The Board of County Commissioners is considering a new plan for how to charge for fire and emergency medical services. This plan involves setting up non-ad valorem assessments, which are special fees, for properties that benefit from these services in the Sumter County Fire & EMS Service Area. The proposed method and rates are based on a study by Accenture. This item is currently under review, with a public hearing planned for July 28, 2026, to discuss the final adoption of the assessment resolution. If approved, this project would involve establishing a system for collecting these assessments, which could lead to work in financial services, legal services, and potentially administrative support for managing the new fee structure. Local businesses involved in finance, law, and administration should monitor this item as it moves through the review process.
