This means Hillsmere is located in a geographic area in which the residents have decided to tax themselves to pay the cost of certain designated purposes. Special Community Benefit Assessment is the name of the tax that is imposed on the property owners within the SCBD. The SCBD budget is shared annually with all property owners, and is available online. The tax is administered by the County in the same manner as the County real property tax. The County collects the annual assessment (currently $249./per lot), from every lot owner and turns it over to the community to be used for the common areas. HSIA reports annually on the spending of the tax money to the County. For this reason, Hillsmere Shores Improvement Association annual dues are voluntary, not mandatory. The only time HSIA dues become mandatory is when a resident desires further amenities, such as a marina boat slip, placement on any piers & harbor wait list(s), a boat ramp key, pool membership, etc. In order for any resident to access these additional amenities, the $20 HSIA annual dues becomes mandatory, along with the amenity fee(s).
