Page 1 of 4

accordance with Section 197.3632, Florida Statutes, and have been further determined that, in the alternative if for any reason it is determined that the District is unable to use the uniform method of collecting said assessments as set forth in Section 197.3632, Florida Statutes, then the District intends to use the optional method of collection for such non-ad valorem assessments as have been or may be levied by the District with said method of collection to be carried out in accordance with Section 197.363, Florida Statutes, until discontinued for a year.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF HOBE-ST. LUCIE CONSERVANCY DISTRICT as follows:

AGREEMENT

THIS AGREEMENT made this 	 day of 	, 2025
between Martin County Property Appraiser, hereinafter referred to as the “Appraiser” and

HOBE-ST. LUCIE CONSERVANCY DISTRICT, hereinafter referred to ad the “District”.

This Agreement pertains to the Special District known as the HOBE-ST. LUCIE CONSERVANCY DISTRICT.
The parties agree as follows:

The Appraiser will continue to include on the ad valorem tax rolls, such special assessments as are certified to the Appraiser by the District as authorized in Section 197.3632, Florida Statutes for Tax year 2025.
The District shall use its best efforts in furnishing the Appraiser with up-to-date concerning its boundaries, special assessments and other information as requested from time to time by the Appraiser in order to facilitate making the assessments in question. Appraiser shall, using information provided by the District, place the District’s special assessments as made from time to time and certified to the appraiser on properties within the District.
The District shall pay to the Appraiser as compensation for administrative costs incurred in carrying out this Agreement at the rate of one per cent of the amount of the special assessments. If the actual costs of performing the service under this agreement with regard to collection of special assessments, exceed the compensation provided, then the amount of compensation shall be the actual costs for performing such services. Payment by the District to the Appraiser for the

P a g e 1 | 6

above descried costs shall become due on November 1 of each tax year and payable on or before January 1st of the following year.
This agreement shall continue from year to year unless cancelled and terminated by either the District or the Appraiser. This agreement may be cancelled and terminated by either party hereto by written notice to the other delivered one (1) year prior to the effective date. It is the intent of the parties hereto to give the District sufficient time to meet the requirements of Section 197.3632, Florida Statutes prior to the effective date of any termination or modification of this agreement. Any alternation, variation, modification, extension, renewal, or waiver of the provision of this agreement shall be valid only when reduced to writing, duly authorized and signed by all parties.
Each year, prior to the Appraiser’s preparation of the District’s special assessments to be placed on the tax roll, the District shall review the special assessments and certify their accuracy and corrections in writing to Appraiser. Such certification shall be made to Appraiser prior to July 1 of each year. The District acknowledges and agrees that all data, calculations and other information used in determining such special assessments must be supplied by and are the sole responsibility of the District. The parties acknowledge that Appraiser is entering this agreement without any determination that the District is legally authorized or qualified to collect its non-ad valorem assessments pursuant to Section 197.3632, Florida Statutes. Further, the parties acknowledge that, while Appraiser has taken reasonable care to prevent such, errors may exist in the ad valorem roll used by Appraiser. In recognition of all the above, the District agrees to indemnify, defend, save and hold harmless Appraiser from all claims, demands, suits, liabilities of any nature whatsoever arising out of,
P a g e 2 | 6

because of, or due to the performance of this agreement by Appraiser, his agents or employees. Further, the District agrees to pay for all attorney’s fees, court costs and other reasonable costs incurred by Appraiser in a litigation or other judicial proceeding arising from or involving the District.
The parties recognize Appraiser processes changes to the assessment roll through a procedure known as Errors and Insolvencies (E&I’s). The parties agree that, should Appraiser process any E&I that would affect the District the parties will attempt to work out a procedure whereby Appraiser’s E&I will also effectuate the change for the District’s special assessment roll.
This agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Florida.

All notices or other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed duly given if delivered in person or sent by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, first class, postage prepaid and addressed as follows:

DEDICATION - REPLAT(515647671.1) PALEN REVISIONS.docx; 25-0218 Drainage-Irrigation-Access Easement - HSLCD to TIITF SFWMD (X1100-049) - Final for Execution(516382934.1).docx; 25-0218 HSLCD FIRST AMEND NOTICE TAX AUTH UNIT 1.docx; 25-0218 HSLCD FIRST AMEND NOTICE OF TAX UNIT 1A.docx

Michael, et al.,

Following is a list of the items to be considered by the HSLCD Board of Supervisors at its next meeting. The relevant documents are attached. These actions are related to the conveyance of certain real property interests from the developer of Discovery PUD to SFWMD and TIITF pursuant to a separate agreement to which HSLCD is not a party. I have included commentary on the proposed actions for the Board’s information.

Consider Joining in a Partial Replat of the Plat of Discovery. Authorize the President to execute the replat to be submitted to Martin County.
Only the Signature Block and an extract of the revised Certificate of Ownership and Dedications affecting the District are attached.
The dedications are not being changed in substance; only applied to the same tract with revised boundaries.
The signature sheet will be provided by the Developer.
Only Water Management Tract L1A, owned in fee by HSLCD is being replatted, along with the location certain previously-approved utility easements affected by tract boundary changes.
Consider conveyance of and authorize the President to execute a “Perpetual Drainage, Irrigation, and Access Easement” from HSLCD’s Water Management Tracts L13 and L14 to serve Tract SP1, which is being conveyed to SFWMD and TIITF by separate agreement between those state agencies and the Developer.
The Easement will allow SFWMD and other state agencies to use Tracts L13 and L14 for drainage, irrigation and access for maintenance purposes.

Consider and Authorize the President to execute a First Amendment to a certain Notice and Disclosure of Taxing Authority for Unit 1, recorded in Official Record Book 3274, Page 600, Public Records of Martin County.
Consider and Authorize the President to execute a First Amendment to a certain Notice and Disclosure of Taxing Authority for Unit 1A, recorded in Official Record Book 3418, Page 1155, Public Records of Martin County.
Items 3 and 4, above are at the request of SFWMD and TIITF. They reflect an intent to take further actions to delete certain parcels or other interests in real property in the Discovery PUD being acquired by SFWMD and TIITF from District assessments. Amendment of the recorded notices will allow these state agencies to delete certain title objections to their acquisition. These actions do not by themselves affect the District’s taxing authority. A change in the District’s non-ad valorem assessments requires compliance with the procedural requirements of Section 298, Florida Statutes, and the District’s Special Act.
Please confirm with the District Engineer that he has reviewed the proposed actions and confirmed that disposition of the affected real property interests is consistent with and/or unnecessary for implementation of the adopted Water Control Plans for Unit 1 and Unit 1A.

Please let me know if any action is missing or incorrectly described. Thanks
Frank
