CORRECTION NOTICE

Correct Public Hearing Date for Solid Waste and Non-Ad Valorem Final Assessment Rates is September 15, 2021 at 9:00am at the Historic Courthouse in Dade City, FL

Recently, annual TRIM (Truth in Millage) Notices were sent which included inserts relaying information on the public hearing for the final non-ad valorem assessment rates for Solid Waste and the Quail Hollow Municipal Service Benefit Unit (MSBU).  While the TRIM lists this date correctly, the inserts erroneously state the date of the public hearing as September 13, 2021.  The CORRECT DATE, TIME, AND PLACE for the public hearing for the final assessment rates for Solid Waste, Quail Hollow MSBU, Williamsburg West Municipal Benefit Taxing Unit (MSTU), and Fox Ridge (MSBU) is September 15, 2021, 9:00 a.m., at the Historic Courthouse, 37918 Meridian Avenue, Dade City, FL  33525
