§ 56.15. IMPOSITION OF STORMWATER MANAGEMENT ASSESSMENT, CLASSIFICATION AND CRITERIA.

(A)

A stormwater management assessment is hereby imposed on each parcel of land, other than nonassessed property, within the benefited area.

(B)

For purposes of imposing the stormwater management assessment, all parcels of land, other than nonassessed property, shall have one of the following classifications and may be entitled to additional discounts pursuant to Section 56.16:

(1)

Developed property:

(a)

Residential property.

(b)

Nonresidential property.

(2)

Unimproved land.

(C)

The stormwater management assessment shall be fair and reasonable and levied in proportion to the special benefit each parcel receives by the use of the system, including such additions, extensions and improvements made thereto. It being recognized that both developed property and unimproved land contributes stormwater runoff, and absent the utilization of the system, the use, enjoyment and value of each parcel will be diminished in proportion to the uncontrolled stormwater runoff attributable to each such parcel. It is also recognized that each user of the system derives a special benefit from the effective operation and maintenance of the system in proportion to each parcel's impact on the system, namely stormwater runoff.
