OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS, ADOPTION OF AN
ASSESSMENT ROLL, AND THE LEVY, COLLECTION, AND ENFORCEMENT OF THE SAME;
AND NOTICE OF REGULAR BOARD OF SUPERVISORS' MEETING.
Upcoming Public Hearings, and Regular Meeting
The Board of Supervisors ("Board") for the Ridge at Apopka Community Development District
("District") will hold the following two public hearings and a regular meeting on August 22, 2023 at 2:30
p.m., and at the Holiday Inn Resort Orlando - Lake Buena Vista, 13351 State Road 535, Orlando,
Florida 32821. The first public hearing is being held pursuant to Chapter 190, Florida Statutes, to receive
public comment and objections on the District's proposed budget ("Proposed Budget") for the fiscal
year beginning October 1, 2023 and ending September 30, 2024 ("Fiscal Year 2023/2024"). The second
public hearing is being held pursuant to Chapters 190, 197, and/or 170, Florida Statutes, to consider the
imposition of operations and maintenance special assessments ("O&M Assessments") upon the lands
located within the District, to fund the Proposed Budget for Fiscal Year 2023/2024; to consider the
adoption of an assessment roll; and, to provide for the levy, collection, and enforcement of
assessments. At the conclusion of the hearings, the Board will, by resolution, adopt a budget and levy
O&M Assessments as finally approved by the Board. A Board meeting of the District will also be held
where the Board may consider any other District business.
Description of Assessments
The District imposes O&M Assessments on benefitted property within the District for the
purpose of funding the District's general administrative, operations, and maintenance budget. A
geographic depiction of the property potentially subject to the proposed O&M Assessments is identified
in the map attached hereto. The table at the end of this advertisement shows the schedule of the
proposed O&M Assessments, which are subject to change at the hearing. Note that the annual O&M
Assessment may also include County collection costs and early payment discounts.
The O&M Assessments may be collected on the County tax roll or by direct bill from the
District's Manager. Note that the O&M Assessments are in addition to any debt service assessments, if
any, previously levied by the District and due to be collected for Fiscal Year 2023/2024. Moreover,
pursuant to Section 197.3632(4), Florida Statutes, the lien amount shall serve as the "maximum rate"
authorized by law for operation and maintenance assessments, such that no assessment hearing shall
be held or notice provided in future years unless the assessments are proposed to be increased or
another criterion within Section 197.3632(4) is met. IT IS IMPORTANT TO PAY YOUR ASSESSMENT
BECAUSE FAILURE TO PAY WILL CAUSE A TAX CERTIFICATE TO BE ISSUED AGAINST THE PROPERTY
WHICH MAY RESULT IN LOSS OF TITLE, OR FOR DIRECT BILLED ASSESSMENTS, MAY RESULT IN A
FORECLOSURE ACTION, WHICH ALSO MAY RESULT IN A LOSS OF TITLE.
Additional Provisions
The public hearings and meeting are open to the public and will be conducted in accordance
with Florida law. A copy of the Proposed Budget and assessment roll, and the agenda, for the
hearings and meeting may be obtained by contacting District Manager, c/o Wrathell, Hunt and
Associates, LLC, 2300 Glades Road, Suite 410W, Boca Raton, Florida 33431, Ph: 561-571-0010
("District Manager's Office"). The public hearings and meeting may be continued to a date,
time, and place to be specified on the record. There may be occasions when staff or board
members may participate by speaker telephone. Any person requiring special accommodations
because of a disability or physical impairment should contact the District Manager's Office at

to appeal any decision made by the Board with respect to any matter considered at the public
hearings or meeting is advised that person will need a record of proceedings and that
accordingly, the person may need to ensure that a verbatim record of the proceedings is made,
including the testimony and evidence upon which such appeal is to be based. If you have any
questions, please do not hesitate to contact the District Manager's Office.
