    (C)

    The City shall, each year, do what is required under the Act to continue the uniform collection method unless it is determined by the Commission that such other method of collecting the stormwater management assessment is in the best interests of the City. If any obligations secured by the stormwater management assessments have been issued by the City on or after the adoption of the uniform method of collection, the Commission shall not discontinue the uniform method of collection without the unanimous consent of the owners of such obligations.

    The stormwater management assessments shall be imposed against the owners of all real property in the City, other than nonassessed property, and collected pursuant to the uniform method of collection for fiscal year commencing October 1, 1991. Thereafter, the City will use the uniform method of collection unless the City determines that another method of collecting stormwater management assessments is in the best interest of the City.

    (F)

    The owner and description of each parcel of real property shall be that designated on the real property records maintained by the property appraiser.

    (G)

    The stormwater management assessments shall be due and payable at the time set forth in the notice of nonad valorem assessments prepared by the County Tax Collector. Stormwater management assessments collected pursuant to the uniform method of collection shall be subject to all collection provisions of F.S. Chapter 197, as amended and supplemented and as set forth in Section 56.19 [of this Code].
