Special Assessments <br />Special assessments are compulsory <br />payments levied on real property for specific <br />benefits generated by public investments or <br />services. By law, the assessment levied must <br />fairly reflect the actual costs of the <br />improvements. County revenues which fall <br />under the general category of special <br />assessments consist of street paving <br />assessments, street lighting district <br />assessments, as well as assessments for <br />water, sewer, and drainage improvements. <br />Figure 6.4: Special Assessments <br />Revenue by FY <br />$800 <br />$700 <br />$600 $536 $562 $546 <br />$481 $505 <br />$500 �. 7 <br />$400 <br />$300 <br />i <br />$200 <br />$100 <br />i <br />$- <br />12/13 13/14 14/15 15/16 16/17 17/18 <br />m Revenue (in thousands) <br />Source: Indian River County Finance Department <br />163 <br />
