What are Non-Ad Valorem Assessments?

Non-ad valorem assessments are fees levied against property by the Board of County Commissioners to pay for a particular service. The fees are expressed in a dollar amount instead of a millage rate. They are directly related to the service provided and the money is not used for any other purpose. In Alachua County, we have non ad valorem assessments to pay for refuse collection service, rural collection centers and special road paving projects. These fees are based upon equivalent residential units. If you have questions about this fee or its applicability to your property, please call the County Waste Collection Department at (352) 338-3233.
