§ 62-134. Method of financing.

The cost of furnishing of services of the Devon Forest Special Tax District shall be paid from the collection of a uniform schedule of fees collected upon all taxable property in the district. The advisory commission shall recommend to the council the fee to be assessed and/or the ad valorem tax to be collected. The county council shall have the power and authority to establish a uniform schedule of fees in addition to levying such ad valorem taxes as may be authorized. The uniform service charge to be assessed and collected in the special tax district shall not exceed $25.00 per year for unimproved real property and $50.00 per year for improved real property. There will be no millage or ad valorem taxes assessed and collected against taxable property in the district until such millage to be assessed is approved through methods established for the creation or modification of special tax districts as set out in S.C. Code 1976, § 4-9-30(5). The uniform service charge will be included in the tax notice or shall be transmitted in a special notice to be paid by the affected citizens prior to December 31 of each year. Collection of uniform service charges shall be in accordance with the state law as applied to the collection of ad valorem property taxes generally in the county.
