...170 contemplate assessments for improvements previously completed? (2) Assuming such an assessment is permissible, is it valid as against one who purchased property after the improvement was complete but before the assessment was levied? An affirmative answer to the first question arises from F.S.A. § 170.14 which provides for a special assessment to be made "if the governing authority of a municipality shall have omitted to make such assessment when it might have done so * * *." This is clearly the situation here where the City of Vero Beach could have made a special assessment prior to the 1964 improvements.

...t are both compulsory, the benefit already executed when the procedure for authorizing the assessment was passed will sustain the assessment. Hall v.

...Hernando County,
790 So.2d 598 (Fla. 5th DCA 2001). In support of the first basis of its argument, the Debtor contends that the 1993 reassessment was invalid because the CID failed to meet any of the conditions precedent for reassessment pursuant to Fla. Stat. §
