As an alternative assessment and financing procedure to those set forth in division
1 of this article, the county hereby implements, as an alternative, the assessment
procedures set forth in F.S. § 163.08, to finance energy conservation and efficiency
improvements, renewable energy improvements and wind resistance improvements as described
in F.S. § 163.08(2)(b). The county hereby authorizes such assessments to be levied
on any real property located within the boundaries of the county, which assessment
will be document by a financing agreement between the county and the participating
property owners; provided, however, that for any real property located within a municipality,
the owner of such real property may elect to participate in the county assessment
program unless the municipality in which the real property is located in fact establishes
its own assessment program under the authority of F.S. § 163.08, and notifies the
county of such action with a formal request to the county to not offer its program
within municipal limits. The county, by subsequent resolution, shall specify the terms
and conditions under which it will enter into a financing agreement with a property
owner within the parameters set forth in F.S. § 163.08, and shall specify the terms
and conditions of the financing agreement to be used by the county.
