Waste fees

An annual waste fee, per residential unit, is hereby assessed upon all city serviced residential units as defined in section 22-1 and as set forth by resolution of the city commission. These fees shall apply to all single and multifamily residences of three units or less within the city and shall serve to defray the cost of waste collection and disposal. Effective October 1, 1999, the city may utilize the uniform method of collection pursuant to F.S. ch. 197, whereby residential unit owners shall pay for residential solid waste collection services on the tax bill, in accordance with the provisions of F.S. ch. 197, as amended. If the city elects not to use the tax bill collection method then one-half of said annual fee amount shall be due and collectible on January 1 and on July 1 of each calendar year, beginning January, 1999.

All fees billed shall be due and collectible upon receipt. The fact that any residential unit or any commercial establishment located in the city is occupied shall be prima facie evidence that garbage and other refuse is being accumulated or produced upon such premises; and temporary vacancy shall not authorize a refund or excuse the nonpayment of the applicable fee. In the event the city elects to use the tax bill collection method and upon the adoption of the assessment roll, all solid waste assessments shall constitute a lien against assessed property equal in rank and dignity with the liens of all state county, district, or municipal taxes and special assessments. Except as otherwise provided by law, such liens shall be superior in dignity to all other period liens, mortgages, titles, and claims until paid. The lien for a solid waste assessment shall be deemed perfected upon adoption by the city commission of the final assessment resolution, whichever is applicable. The lien for a solid waste assessment shall be deemed perfected upon adoption by the city commission of the final assessment resolution or the annual rate resolution, whichever is applicable. The lien for a solid waste assessment collected under the Uniform Assessment Collection Act shall attach to the property included on the assessment roll as of the prior January 1, the lien date for ad valorem taxes imposed under the tax roll.
