My 2009 tax bill includes non-ad valorem assessments for items such as Navarre Beach Fire and Navarre Bch (Beach) Project. Do I pay these non-ad valorem assessments?
A. Yes. These non-ad valorem assessments are separate items from the ad valorem taxes on your improvements and should be paid when due. Our lawsuit only address “ad valorem taxes” and does not include or preclude you from payment of any non-ad valorem assessments. In the past, the fire and beach project assessments were billed to you separately. On your 2009 tax bill, the Tax Collector included these assessments in your tax bill under “non-ad valorem” assessments as noted on the tax bill copy here. Please be sure to pay these assessments when due or you could be without your fire department!!
