Fla. Stat. § 166.223: Special assessments levied on recreational vehicle parks regulated under chapter 513.

When a municipality levies a non-ad valorem special assessment on a recreational vehicle park regulated under chapter 513, the non-ad valorem special assessment may not be based on the assertion that the recreational vehicle park is comprised of residential units. Instead, recreational vehicle parks regulated under chapter 513 shall be assessed as a commercial entity in the same manner as a hotel, motel, or other similar facility. The non-ad valorem special assessment may not be levied against the portion of a recreational vehicle parking space or campsite which exceeds the maximum square footage of a recreational vehicle-type unit pursuant to s. 320.01(1)(b), regardless of the size of the recreational vehicle parking space or campsite. A municipality shall consider the recreational vehicle park’s occupancy rates to ensure that any special assessment is fairly and reasonably apportioned among the recreational vehicle parks receiving the special benefit.
