§ 62-194. Method of financing.

The cost of furnishing services in the Tall Pines Special Tax District shall be paid from the collection of uniform service charges and/or ad valorem taxes collected upon all taxable property in the district. The advisory commission shall recommend to the county council the schedule of uniform service charges and/or ad valorem taxes to be collected. The county council shall have the power and authority to establish a schedule of uniform service charges and/or ad valorem taxes in addition to levying such ad valorem taxes as may be authorized. For 2003 and thereafter, the maximum level of user service charges to be levied or collected shall not exceed $50.00 per unimproved parcel of real property and $100.00 per improved parcel of real property and the maximum level of ad valorem taxes to be levied or collected on behalf of the district shall not exceed 100 mills until higher user service charges and/or mills are approved by a majority of the electors in the district voting in a special referendum and election conducted for such purposes and held in the manner provided by law for holding a special referendum. All uniform service charges and/or ad valorem taxes shall be included in the tax notice or shall be transmitted in a special notice to be paid prior to December 31 of each year. Collection of uniform service charges shall be in accordance with state law as applied to the collection of ad valorem property taxes generally in the county. No part of this division shall be construed in such a way as to reduce the county millage rate as assessed on any property within the tax district.
