Checklist of Up -to -Date Pages
(This checklist will be updated with the
printing of each Supplement)
From our experience in publishing Looseleaf Supplements on a page -for -page
substitution basis, it has become evident that through usage and supplementation many
pages can be inserted and removed in error.
The following listing is included in this Code as a ready guide for the user to determine
whether the Code volume properly reflects the latest printing of each page.
In the first column all page numbers are listed in sequence. The second column reflects
the latest printing of the pages as they should appear in an up-to-date volume. The letters
"OC" indicate the pages have not been reprinted in the Supplement Service and appear as
published for the original Code. When a page has been reprinted or printed in the
Supplement Service, this column reflects the identification number or Supplement Number
printed on the bottom of the page.
In addition to assisting existing holders of the Code, this list may be used in compiling
an up-to-date copy from the original Code and subsequent Supplements.

DIVISION 3. GENERAL AVIATION MINIMUM STANDARDS
Sec. 8-132. Purpose and scope.
(a) The purpose of these general aviation minimum standards (minimum standards) is to
encourage, promote, and ensure:
(1) The delivery of high quality general aviation products, services, and facilities to
airport users;
(2) The design and development of high quality general aviation improvements and
facilities at the airport;
(3) Safety and security at the airport;
(4) The economic health of general aviation airport businesses; and
(5) The orderly development of airport property.
To this end, all persons desiring to engage in general aviation aeronautical activities at the
airport shall be accorded reasonable opportunities, without unjust discrimination, to engage
in such activities, subject to the general provisions, the rules and regulations, and these
minimum standards.
Supp. No. 26 CD8:48
AVIATION § 8-135
(c) Specialized aviation service operators may lease land from the county and may
request in writing to the county to construct improvements on such land. SASOs may also
sublease improvements from an FBO or, with approval from the county, sublease improve-
ments from another SASO.
(Code 1982, § 1-2.3-80; Ord. No. 07-051, pt. C, 12-4-2007; Ord. No. 24-009, § 1, 3-22-2024)

Sec. 8-134. Exclusive rights.
(a) In accordance with the airport assurances, the granting of rights or privileges to
engage in commercial aeronautical activities shall not be construed in any manner as
affording an operator any exclusive right, other than the exclusive use of the land and/or
improvements that may be leased to the operator, if applicable, and then only to the extent
provided in an agreement.
(b) The presence on the airport of only one person engaged in a particular commercial
aeronautical activity does not, in and of itself, indicate that an exclusive right has been
granted. It is the policy of the county not to enter into or promote an understanding,
commitment, or express agreement to exclude other reasonably qualified persons. Accord-
ingly, those who desire to enter into an agreement with the county should neither expect nor
request that the county exclude others who also desire to engage in the same or similar
activities. The opportunity to engage in a commercial aeronautical activity shall be made
available to those persons meeting the qualifications and the requirements set forth in these
minimum standards and as space may be available at the airport to support such activity;
provided such use is consistent with the current and planned uses of airport land and
improvements and is in the best interest of the county.
(c) If the FAA determines that any provision of these minimum standards, an agreement,
or a practice constitutes a grant of a prohibited exclusive right, such provision or practice
shall be deemed null and void and/or such practice shall be discontinued immediately.
(Code 1982, § 1-2.3-82; Ord. No. 07-051, pt. C, 12-4-2007; Ord. No. 24-009, § 1, 3-22-2024)
Sec. 8-135. Land use.
The county reserves the right to designate specific airport areas in which commercial and
noncommercial aeronautical activities may be conducted. Such designation shall give
consideration to the nature and extent of the activities, the land and improvements that are
available, and the preferred development of the airport as described in the most recently
completed master plan, airport layout plan, and/or a land use plan.
(Code 1982, § 1-2.3-83; Ord. No. 07-051, pt. C, 12-4-2007; Ord. No. 24-009, § 1, 3-22-2024)

the airport. Throughout these minimum standards, the word "standards" or "requirements"
shall be understood to be modified by the word "minimum," except where explicitly stated
otherwise. Any required determinations, interpretations, or judgments regarding what
constitutes an acceptable minimum standard, or regarding compliance with such standard,
shall be made by the county. All persons are encouraged to exceed the applicable minimum
standards.
(b) These minimum standards shall apply to any new agreement, amendment to an
agreement, new operator or new improvements at the airport.

executed prior to the date of promulgation of these minimum standards except as
provided for in such agreement or amendment, in which case these minimum
standards shall apply to the extent permitted by such agreement or amendment.
(3) Upon termination of an agreement (or sublease), the operator shall be required to
comply with these minimum standards upon execution of a new agreement, renewal
of an agreement, or amendment to such agreement. If such operator is unable to
comply with these minimum standards immediately upon execution of such new
agreement, renewal, or amendment, the operator may apply to the county for a
temporary variance of the minimum standards in accordance with section 8-
The length of time for such temporary variance, if granted, shall be determined in
the sole discretion of the airport director.
(4) These minimum standards shall not be deemed to modify any existing agreement (or
sublease) under which a person is required to exceed these minimum standards, nor
shall they prohibit the county from entering into or enforcing an agreement (or
sublease) that requires a person to exceed the minimum standards.
(Code 1982, § 1-2.3-84; Ord. No. 07-051, pt. C, 12-4-2007; Ord. No. 24-009, § 1, 3-22-2024)

minimum standards.
(f) When a specific product, service, or facility is not currently being provided at the
airport, the county may enter into an agreement with an FBO or SASO with terms and
conditions that may be less than those outlined in the minimum standards (e.g., reduced
rents, lower minimum standards, etc.), only for a limited period of time (i.e., pioneering
period). The duration of the pioneering period shall be specified in the agreement.
(g) Requests for variance or exemption shall be submitted in writing to the airport
director and must state definitively the document and the exact clauses, sections, or
provisions for which the variance or exemption is being sought, describe the proposed
variance or exemption, state the reason or rationale for the proposed variance or exemption,
identify potential and/or anticipated impacts on the airport, other persons (including
operators and lessees) at the airport, and the community, and identify the proposed duration

Sec. 42-222. Definitions.
The following words, terms, and phrases, when used in this article, shall have the
meanings ascribed to them in this article, except as where the context clearly indicates a
different meaning:
Public access means the ability of any member of the public to enter upon or use a water
dependent facility without any restrictions that are not also imposed upon all users of such
facility or the ability of any member of the public to use a water dependent facility on a first

Supp. No. 26 CD42:28
TAXATION § 42-224
Recreational and commercial working waterfront means a parcel or parcels of real
property that provide access for water -dependent commercial activities or provide public
access to the navigable waters of the state. Recreational and commercial working waterfronts
require direct access to or location on, over or adjacent to a navigable body of water. The term
includes water -dependent facilities that are open to the public and offer public access by
vessels to the waters of the state or that are support facilities for recreational, commercial,
research or governmental vessels. These support facilities include docks, wharfs, lifts, wet
and dry marinas, boat ramps, boat hauling and repair facilities, commercial fishing facilities,
boat construction facilities, and other support structures over the water. As used in this
section, the term 'vessel" has the same meaning as in Section 327.02, Florida Statutes.
Seaports are excluded from the definition.
(Ord. No. 24-007, § 1 Added, 2-20-2024)
Sec. 42-223. Tax deferral for recreational and commercial working waterfront
properties.
(a) Beginning with the taxes assessed in 2024, any property owner who is engaged in the
operation, rehabilitation, or renovation of a recreational or commercial working waterfront
property, as herein defined, except for those properties located within any community
redevelopment area, may elect to defer payment of fifty (50) percent of ad valorem taxes
levied by the county (except for taxes authorized by a vote of the electors pursuant to s. 9(b)
or section 12, article VII of the state constitution) by filing an annual application for tax
deferral with the county tax collector on or before March 31 following the year in which the
taxes are assessed. The applicant has the burden to affirmatively demonstrate compliance
with the requirements for tax deferral.
(b) All taxes permitted by this article to be deferred shall be deferred for a period of up to
twenty (20) years during which time the use and ownership of the property must remain that
of a recreational and commercial working waterfront when the deferral was granted.
However, all taxes previously deferred shall be deferred for an additional five (5) year period
if the property qualifies for tax deferral in the year previously deferred taxes are due.
(c) All deferrals granted under this article shall remain in effect regardless of any change
in the authority of the county tax collector or the county to grant the deferral.
(Ord. No. 24-007, § 1 Added, 2-20-2024)
Sec. 42-224. Application for tax deferral.
(a) Application form. A property owner is responsible for submitting an application for
tax deferral with the tax collector on or before March 31 following the year in which taxes
and non -ad valorem assessments are assessed annually, upon a form prescribed by the state
department of revenue ("the department") and furnished by the county tax collector. Each
applicant shall demonstrate compliance with the requirements for tax deferral. The tax
collector may require the applicant to submit other evidence and documentation deemed
necessary in considering the application. The application form must provide notice to the
Supp. No. 26 CD42:29
§ 42-224 ST. LUCIE COUNTY CODE
applicant of the manner in which interest is computed, consistent with the methodology
outlined in this article. Each application form must contain an explanation, consistent with
this article, for the conditions to be met for approval and the conditions under which deferred
taxes and interest become due, payable, and delinquent. Each application must clearly state
that all deferrals pursuant to this article constitute a priority lien on the applicant's property
and shall attach as of the date and in the same manner and be collected as other liens for
taxes. The applicant must submit the following information:
(1) Each application must contain a list of, and the current value of, all outstanding liens
on the applicant's property.
(2) Each applicant shall furnish proof of fire and extended coverage insurance in an
amount that is in excess of the sum of all outstanding liens including a lien for
deferred taxes and non -ad valorem assessments and interest with a loss payable
clause to the county tax collector.
(3) The tax collector may require the applicant to submit any other evidence and
documentation deemed necessary by the tax collector in considering the application.
(b) Determination of the tax collector. The tax collector shall consider and render his or
her findings, determinations, and decision on each annual application for tax deferral for
recreational and commercial working waterfronts within forty-five (45) days after the date
the application is filed. The tax collector shall exercise reasonable discretion based upon
applicable information available under this article. The determination and findings of the
tax collector are not quasi-judicial and are subject exclusively to review by the value
adjustment board. A tax collector who finds the applicant is entitled to the tax deferral shall
approve the application and monitor deferral records until the tax lien is satisfied. A tax
collector who finds that the applicant is not entitled to the deferral shall send notice of
disapproval within forty-five (45) days after the date the application is filed, stating reasons
for the disapproval to the applicant. The notice shall be sent by personal delivery or
registered mail to the mailing address given by the applicant in the manner in which the
original notice thereof was served upon the applicant and must be filed among the
permanent records of the tax collector's office. The original notice of disapproval sent to the
applicant shall advise the applicant of the right to appeal the decision of the tax collector to
the value adjustment board and inform the applicant of the procedure for filing such an
appeal.
(c) Appeal of decision. An appeal of a denied tax deferral must be made by the property
owner. An appeal of the decision of the tax collector to the value adjustment board must be
in writing on a form prescribed by the department and furnished by the tax collector. The
appeal must be filed with the value adjustment board within thirty (30) days after the
mailing of the notice of disapproval. The value adjustment board shall review the application
and the evidence presented to the tax collector upon which the applicant based his or her
claim for tax deferral and, at the election of the applicant, shall hear the applicant in person,
or by agent on the applicant's behalf, on his or her right to the tax deferral. The value
adjustment board shall reverse the decision of the tax collector and grant a tax deferral to
Supp. No. 26 CD42:30
TAXATION § 42-227
the applicant, if in its judgement, the applicant is entitled to the tax deferral or shall affirm
the decision of the tax collector. Action by the value adjustment board is final unless the
applicant or tax collector files a de novo proceeding for a declaratory judgment or other
appropriate proceeding in the circuit court of the county in which the property is located
within fifteen (15) days after the date of the decision.
(Ord. No. 24-007, § 1 Added, 2-20-2024)
Sec. 42-225. Denial of tax deferral.
A tax deferral shall not be granted if:
(1) The total amount of deferred taxes, non -ad valorem assessments, and interest plus
the total amount of all other unsatisfied liens on the property exceeds eighty-five
(85%) percent of the just value of the property; or
(2) The primary financing on the property is for an amount that exceeds seventy (70%)
percent of the just value of the property; or
(3) The applicant fails to provide fire and extended coverage insurance in an amount
that is in excess of the sum of all outstanding liens and deferred taxes and interest
with a loss payable clause to the county tax collector.
(Ord. No. 24-007, § 1 Added, 2-20-2024)
Sec. 42-226. Approved applications.
(a) For approved applications, the date of receipt by the tax collector of the applications

payment.
(b) The tax collector shall notify the property appraiser in writing for those parcels for
which taxes have been deferred.
(c) The property appraiser shall promptly notify the tax collector of changes in ownership
or use of property that have been granted a tax deferral.
(Ord. No. 24-007, § 1 Added, 2-20-2024)
Sec. 42-227. Deferred payment certificates.
(a) At the time of the tax certificate sale the tax collector shall strike to the county each
certificate or property for which taxes have been deferred. Certificates issued pursuant to
this section are exempt from the public sale of tax certificates.
(b) The certificates so held by the county shall bear interest at a rate equal to the
semiannually compounded rate of one-half of one percent added to the average yield
maturity of the long term fixed income portion of the Florida retirement savings investments
as of the end of the quarter preceding the date of the sale of the deferred tax certificate.
However, the interest rate may not exceed seven (7%) percent or as provided by state law.
(Ord. No. 24-007, § 1 Added, 2-20-2024)
Supp. No. 26 CD42:31
§ 42-228 ST. LUCIE COUNTY CODE
Sec. 42-228. Termination of tax deferral.
(a) If there is a change in use or ownership of the tax -deferred property such that the
owner is no longer eligible for the tax deferral grant, or the owner fails to maintain the
required fire and extended insurance coverage, the total amount of deferred taxes and
interest for all years is due and payable November 1 of the year in which the change in use
or ownership occurs or on the date failure to maintain insurance occurs. Payment is
delinquent on April 1 of the year following the year in which the change in use or ownership
or failure to maintain insurance occurs. However, if the change in ownership is to a surviving
spouse and the spouse is eligible to maintain the tax deferral on such property, the surviving
spouse may continue the deferment of previously deferred taxes and interest pursuant to
state law.
(b) Whenever the property appraiser discovers that there has been a change in the use or
ownership of the property that has been granted a tax deferral, the property appraiser shall
notify the tax collector in writing of the date such change occurs, and the tax collector shall
collect any taxes and interest due.
(c) During any year in which the total amount of deferred taxes, interest, assessments,
and all other unsatisfied liens on the property exceeds eighty-five (85%) percent of the just
value of the property, the tax collector shall notify the owner that the portion of taxes and
interest which exceeds eighty-five (85%) percent of the value of the property is due and
payable within thirty (30) days after the notice is sent. Failure to pay the amount due causes
the total amount of deferred taxes, interest, and assessments to become payable within 30
days.
(d) If deferred taxes, interest, and assessments become delinquent, the tax collector shall
sell a tax certificate for the delinquent taxes, interest and assessments in the manner
provided by section 197.432, Florida Statutes.
(Ord. No. 24-007, § 1 Added, 2-20-2024)
Sec. 42-229. Prepayment of deferred taxes.
(a) All or part of the deferred taxes and accrued interest may be paid at any time. Any
payment that is less than the total amount due must be equal to the amount of the deferred
taxes, interest, and assessments and the payment must be for 1 or more full years.
(Ord. No. 24-007, § 1 Added, 2-20-2024)
