§ 106-66. Prohibiting annexation by municipalities; prohibiting franchise and other fees by municipalities.  


Latest version.
  • It is the intent of this division to create a countywide system for disposal of solid waste, and in furtherance of this intent, no municipality shall annex any real property upon which is located the entire county solid waste disposal and resource recovery system. Provided, however, that such real property shall not be deemed to prohibit annexation of other real property due to a lack of continuity or compactness as defined by F.S. § 171.031(11) and (12). Further, no municipality shall impose or collect any franchise, or any similar fee, on real property upon which the county solid waste disposal and resource recovery system is located. All fees and charges which may be required by a municipality in order to provide water, sewer or other utility services, as authorized by F.S. § 180.06, to such system are not prohibited by this section when such fees and charges are based upon established rates commensurate with the cost of providing such services.
