This bill amends sections 125.0168, 166.223, and 189.052 of the Florida Statutes to change how special assessments are levied on recreational vehicle parks regulated under chapter 513. The bill specifies that these assessments may not be based on the premise that the parks consist of residential units, but rather should treat them as commercial entities similar to hotels or motels. Additionally, the bill introduces a provision that prohibits levying assessments against any portion of a recreational vehicle parking space or campsite that exceeds the maximum square footage of a recreational vehicle-type unit, as defined in section 320.01(1)(b).

Furthermore, the bill requires counties, municipalities, and special districts to consider the occupancy rates of recreational vehicle parks when determining the fairness and reasonableness of any special assessments. The amendments made by this act will first apply to the 2026 property tax roll, and the act will take effect upon becoming law.
