III. The tax collectors refuse to collect the Agency’s

Board of County Commissioners Regular Meeting · 2026-04-28 · agenda_item

This item concerns a legal dispute involving an agency that issues bonds for property improvements and tax collectors who have refused to collect assessments. The agency argues that tax collectors are legally obligated to collect these assessments, as confirmed by a final judgment. The tax collectors have challenged this judgment, claiming the court lacked jurisdiction and that certain aspects were improperly decided. The circuit court has sided with the agency, affirming its statewide authority and the tax collectors' ministerial duty to collect assessments. This matter is currently under review by the Board of County Commissioners. The ongoing legal proceedings may eventually lead to the enforcement of assessment collection, potentially involving services related to financial administration and legal counsel. Businesses involved in financial services, legal services, and government contracting may find opportunities as this situation progresses through the legal and administrative processes.
