Basic Information

Background

The Villages of Westport Community Development District (“District”) is an independent special district, created pursuant to and existing under the provisions of Chapter 190, Florida Statutes, enacted by Ordinance 2001-246 on April 3, 2001. The District includes within its boundaries approximately 1812 acres of land located entirely within the boundaries of Duval County, Florida.

The Villages of Westport Community Development District is a local, special purpose government entity authorized by Chapter 190 of the Florida Statutes as amended, and created by ordinance of the Board of County Commissioners of Duval County, Florida as an alternative method of planning, acquiring, operating and maintaining community-wide improvements in planned communities. A CDD provides the “solution” to Florida’s need to provide valuable community infrastructure generated by growth, ultimately without overburdening other governments and their taxpaying residents. Community Development Districts represent a major advancement in Florida’s effort to manage its growth effectively and efficiently. This allows a developer to establish higher construction standards, meanwhile providing a long-term solution to the operation and maintenance of the community’s facilities.

District Infrastructure and Property

The District issued its Series 2005A Bonds (“Bonds”) to fund the construction and/or acquisition of stormwater management improvements, landscaping, utilities, and roadways.

 

District Annual Budgets

The District will annually approve both a Series 2005A Bonds debt service budget and an operations and maintenance “O&M” budget. The Series 2005A Bonds require level annual debt service and so the bond debt service budget will not vary substantially from year-to-year.

 

District Annual Non-Ad Valorem Assessments

The District annually levies and collects from property owners within its boundaries both a bond debt service assessment and an O&M assessment, as authorized by Chapter 190, Florida Statutes. The bond debt service assessment helps amortize the District’s Series 2005A Bonds. The O&M assessment funds the District’s annual O&M activities. Assessments for platted lots are collected on the Duval County tax bill. Chapter 197, Florida Statutes, provides a mechanism pursuant to which such special assessments may be placed on the tax roll and collected by the local tax collector. The District has previously authorized the use of the Uniform Method by, among other things, entering into agreements with the Property Appraiser and Tax Collector of the County for that purpose.
