The Acme Improvement District assesses for storm water management and infrastructure maintenance through non-ad valorem assessments which are levied on a resident’s annual property tax bill.  

The Acme assessment is based on acreage expressed in units corresponding to portions of acres.  The table below illustrates the unit calculation method:

Parcel SizeNumber of Units
Up to 1.49 Acres1
1.50 - 2.49 Acres2
2.50 - 3.49 Acres 3
3.50 - 4.49 Acres 4

 

The statutory authority for the levy of fees and assessments is provided under Florida Statutes Chapters 189 and 298.

The District is divided into assessment units based on the relative benefit to each area.  The distribution of the units and relative benefit are show in the following chart.
