HomeMy WebLinkAboutCode Master Project 1978: Chapter 551: Interim Property Service Fee (No Change) CHAP 557
Sec. 551.01 Fee Established . A fee to be known as the
"Interim Proprietary Services Fee" is hereby established.
Sec. 552.02 Purposes. It is recognized that the cost to
the City of Cape Canaveral of providing trash and garbage collection is
paid by the ad valorem tax revenue of the City. During the period between
the time a certificate of occupancy is issued and the time the improvements
on property are placed on the tax rolls on the ensuing January 1st, the City
is obligated to provide trash and garbage service, as well as providing
other direct services to improved property and the occupants thereof for
which no part of the cost of such direct services is received by the City.
The purpose of the Interim Proprietary Services Fee, therefore, is to de-
fray the cost to the City of Cape Canaveral of providing direct services to
improved property prior to the imposition of ad valorem taxes on such
improvements, and is not intended as an ad valorem tax. [Ord. No. 19-73, §1,
5 June 1973]
Sec. 552.03 The fee levied on certain properties. The Interim
Proprietary Services Fee shall apply to those properties issued a
certificate of occupancy either permanent or temporary for full or partial
use of the premises and shall be paid from the first day of the month
following the date upon which such certificate of occupancy is issued
until the ensuing January 1st. [Ord. No. 19-73, §3, 5 June 1973]
Sec. 551.04: Fee: when paid. The entire Interim Proprietary
Services Fee in full shall be paid upon the issuance of a certificate of
occupancy, and the certificate of occupancy shall not be issued until the
Interim Proprietary Services Fee has been paid. Where a certificate of
occupancy has issued prior to the collection as herein provided, the City
shall forward a bill for the fee required to the owner or user of the premises
and payment shall be made within thirty (30) days after such billing.
[Ord. No. 19-73, §4, 5 June 1973]
Sec. 551.05 Rate. The Interim Proprietary Services Fee shall be
$4. 00 per unit per month from the first day of the month plus actual
container charges billed to the City by the Garage Service Operator
following the date
of the issuance of the certificate of occupancy. For the purposes of this
Ordinance, a "Unit" shall be defined as a single4amily residence; each
living unit of a townhouse, duplex, or multiple-family dwelling; a ware-
house bay; a single-tenant industrial space; a retail store; or a single-
tenant space in an office building. For other uses, or when the interior
of a non-residential building is not fully subdivided into individual tenant
spaces at the time a certificate of occupancy is first issued, a "unit" for
the portion not finally divided shall be calculated by determining the
occupant load as shown in the Southern Florida Building Code based on
4. 3 persons for each unit. [Ord. No. 19-73, §5, 5 June 1973]
