This bill amends section 125.01 of the Florida Statutes, significantly altering the powers of county commissioners regarding special assessments. It removes the ability of counties to levy and collect special assessments as a source of funding for municipal facilities and services, as well as for financing services or programs that benefit property or residents in unincorporated areas. The specific legal language deleted includes references to special assessments in various subsections, indicating a shift away from this funding mechanism.

The bill retains the authority for counties to establish municipal service taxing or benefit units and to levy taxes for county purposes and municipal services, but it explicitly eliminates special assessments from these provisions. The effective date for this change is set for July 1, 2025. Overall, the bill represents a significant reduction in the financial tools available to county governments for funding local services and infrastructure.
