Commissioners keep MSBU option alive for beach renourishment, delay levy until apportionment study is complete

Aug 4, 2025

After hearing that a defensible apportionment study could not be completed in time for a 2025 levy, Flagler County commissioners agreed Aug. 4 to preserve a proposed MSBU for beach renourishment by mailing notices with a zero levy and to hire an outside firm to complete apportionment work for a future assessment.

Commissioners spent more than two hours on Aug. 4 debating a proposed Municipal Service Benefit Unit (MSBU) intended to fund ongoing beach renourishment and maintenance across unincorporated Flagler County and part of the barrier‑island coastline. After hearing from administration, the county’s engineering consultant and county legal counsel that an apportionment study could not be completed in time to impose a levy for 2025, the board agreed by consensus to preserve the district on the books rather than attempt an immediate assessment.
