The Special Tax shall be collected in the same manner and at the same time as
ordinary ad valorem property taxes and shall be subject to the same penalties, the
same procedure, sale and lien priority in the case of delinquency; provided, however,
that the Administrator may djrectly bill the Special Tax, may collect Special Taxes at a
different time or in a different manner if necessary to meet the financial obligations of
the CFD, and provided further that the CFD may covenant to foreclose and may actually
foreclose on Parcels having delinquent Special Taxes as permitted by the Act.
G. APPEALS
Any taxpayer may file a written appeal of the Special Tax on his/her Parcel(s) with the
Administrator, provided that the appellant is current in his/her payments of Special
Taxes. During pendency of an appeal, all Special Taxes must be paid on or before the
payment due date established when the levy was made. The appeal must specify the
reasons why the appellant claims the Special Tax is in error. The Administrator shall
review the appeal, meet with the appellant if the Administrator deems necessary, and
advise the appellant of its determination. If the Administrator agrees with the appellant,
the Administrator shall grant a credit to eliminate or reduce future Special Taxes on the
appellant's Parcel(s). No refunds of previously paid Special Taxes shall be made.
The Administrator shall interpret this Rate and Method of Apportionment and make
determinations relative to the annual levy and administration of the Special Tax and any
taxpayer who appeals, as herein specified.
H. TERM OF THE SPECIAL TAX
The Special Tax shall be levied annually in perpetuity to meet the Special Tax
Requirement, unless terminated earlier by the City.
