Lauderhill safe‑neighborhood boards approve FY2026 levies and special assessments

Several Lauderhill Safe Neighborhood Improvement District (SND) boards met in sequence Sept. 12 and approved FY2026 property tax levies and non‑ad valorem special assessments for their districts. Each item was read on the record, opened and closed to public comment and passed by the respective boards with unanimous votes.

Key approvals included:

- Habitat SND: ordinance and resolution adopting a levy at 1 mill and a non‑ad valorem special assessment of $125 per parcel for fiscal year 2026; vote recorded as passed 4-0.

- Manners of Embraer SND ("Manners of Embraer"/master and condo associations): ordinance adopting a 0‑mill levy and non‑ad valorem assessments of $100 for master association parcels and $400 for two condo association categories per parcel for fiscal year 2026; passed 4-0.

- Isles/Isles of Inverie SND: ordinance adopting a 2‑mill levy and a $500 per‑parcel special assessment for fiscal year 2026; passed 4-0.

- Windermere Tree Garden SND: ordinance adopting a 2‑mill levy and a $500 per‑parcel special assessment for fiscal year 2026; passed 4-0.

Each district also approved companion tentative‑budget resolutions to send the SND budgets into the city's overall FY2026 budget. The votes were routine, with the city attorney or counsel reading ordinance and resolution titles and the city clerk recording unanimous board votes.

Why it matters: SND levies and assessments appear on property tax bills for parcels inside each district and fund neighborhood infrastructure and services specific to each SND. Parcel owners inside the districts will see the adopted non‑ad valorem assessment amounts reflected on future tax bills for the fiscal year starting Oct. 1, 2025.

Actions were ministerial and followed the same pattern for each district: reading of ordinance/resolution titles, a motion and second, opening and closing of a public hearing, and unanimous roll‑call votes.
