§ 10-101. General authority.

(a)

The board is hereby authorized to impose solid waste disposal assessments against all residential property within the benefit unit at a rate of assessment based on the special benefit accruing to such property from the county's provision of solid waste management and disposal services and facilities. The solid waste disposal assessments shall be imposed in conformity with the procedures set forth in this division.

(b)

The amount of the solid waste disposal assessment imposed each fiscal year against each parcel of residential property shall be based upon:

Classifications of residential property reasonably related to the generation of solid waste;

(2)

The physical characteristics of a special parcel or building;

(3)

Any other factor reasonably related to the generation of solid waste; or

(4)

Any combination of the foregoing; provided that the factor or combination of factors employed to compute the solid waste disposal assessment shall result in a rate of assessment not in excess of the special benefit accruing to such parcel of residential property from the provision of solid waste management and disposal services and facilities.

(c)

The amount of a solid waste disposal assessment to be collected using the uniform method pursuant to the Uniform Assessment Collection Act for any specific parcel may include an amount equivalent to the payment delinquency, delinquency fees and recording costs for a prior year's assessment for solid waste management and disposal services and facilities; provided:

(1)

The collection method used in connection with the prior year's assessment did not employ the use of the uniform method of collection authorized by the Uniform Assessment Collection Act;

(2)

Notice is provided to the owner; and

(3)

Any lien on the affected parcel for the prior year's assessment is supplanted and transferred to such solid waste disposal assessment upon certification of a non-ad valorem roll to the tax collector by the county.
