Council reimposes street‑lighting assessments; Briarwood South rises to $80, Shadow Ridge holds at $155

Sept. 10, 2025 — Orange City's City Council adopted two final assessment resolutions on Wednesday evening to reimpose street‑lighting assessments for tax year 2025.

Finance Director Devlin Moore said Resolution 394‑25 will reimpose the Briarwood South street‑lighting assessment and set the annual amount at $80 per lot, up from $72, to cover the cost of providing required lighting in that subdivision. He added the notice was published on Aug. 20 and included on TRIM mailings.

Resolution 395‑25 reimposes the Shadow Ridge street‑lighting assessment at $155 per lot; Moore told the council that rate remains unchanged from the current year.

Both resolutions were adopted by roll call following staff presentations and a brief exchange among council members. Staff said assessment proceeds will be used to maintain and operate the street‑lighting systems in the respective assessment areas and that collection will proceed pursuant to the Uniform Assessment Collection Act.

Residents with parcel‑specific questions were directed to contact the interim city manager or finance department for detail.
