February 2, 201237 Fla. L. Weekly Supp. 67
Summary
The Supreme Court of Florida affirmed the Second District Court of Appeal’s decision that the North Port Road and Drainage District (NPRDD) cannot levy non‑ad valorem special assessments on property owned by West Villages Improvement District. The Court held that NPRDD’s municipal home‑rule powers do not extend to impose such assessments and that West Villages, as an independent special district, does not enjoy sovereign immunity.
