§ 2-101. Scope.

(a)

The provisions of this article shall apply to special assessment public service programs and public works projects, and may be referred to as the "home rule special assessment ordinance." Public service programs ("service(s)") and public works projects ("project(s)") may be made or undertaken in accordance with the home rule special assessment ordinance whenever the city determines that such services or projects should be undertaken and completed and the costs collected, in whole or in part, as a special assessment. The authority granted to the city pursuant to the home rule special assessment ordinance shall be supplemental to other provisions of law, including F.S. Ch. 170, and shall not be construed as limiting, or being limited by, such other provisions of law.

(b)

Special assessments made pursuant to this article shall be levied only for the purposes enumerated in this article and at a rate of assessment based upon the special benefit accruing to the property assessed from such service or project undertaken by the city. The reasonably estimated value of such special benefit must equal or exceed the amount of each assessment. Adoption of the assessment resolution, as hereinafter defined and provided, shall constitute a legislative finding that these standards have been met.
