Summary:
Each year in May, the District Board is asked to adopt a resolution approving a preliminary form of the Vistancia West Community Facilities District budget and tax levy information for the following fiscal year and also to establish a public hearing date for review of the proposed budget and tax levy estimates. In May or June each year, the Board will then hold a public hearing and adopt the final budget for the Vistancia West Community Facilities District and order that an Ad Valorem Tax be levied and assessed on the assessed value of property within the District.
The Fiscal Year 2024 Proposed District Budget provides for an operating and debt service budget of $941,700 for the district. The budget identifies the revenues and expenses of the District, and outlines the sources and uses of funds for Fiscal Year 2024.
The proposed tax rate to be set for the District is unchanged at $2.10 per $100 of limited assessed value for debt service. The total tax levy revenue for the upcoming year is estimated to be $730,887. The balance of revenues for the District is anticipated to come from the Developer as per the 2016 and 2019 Standby Contribution Agreements, as well as the Development Agreement.
