PUBLIC HEARINGS

Board of County Commissioners Regular Meeting · 2026-07-28 · agenda_item

The Board of County Commissioners for Sumter County is holding a public hearing to consider a new plan for fire protection services. This plan involves establishing non-ad valorem assessments on specially benefited properties within the Sumter County Fire & EMS Service Area. The proposed assessments are based on a study by Accenture, dated May 2026, and aim to fund fire protection services. This item is currently under review, with staff recommending approval. The project would involve establishing a new assessment methodology and potentially require services related to assessment administration and collection. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers in fields such as finance, legal services, and government administration may find opportunities by engaging early, before final decisions and implementation plans are set.
