What is the Acme Improvement District that appears on my tax bill?

The Acme Improvement District (AID) is a dependent special district originally created by the Florida legislature in 1953 to provide drainage, water management, and infrastructure development in western Palm Beach County.  Special Districts are unlike municipalities and counties in that some of them, including Acme, collect revenue from non-ad valorem assessments. This means that the amount of the assessment is not based on the value of the property. Assessments are unit-based and paid solely by landowners benefiting from the services that Acme provides.  

The number of units is based on the amount of land owned:

Parcel SizeNumber of Units
Up to 1.49 acres1
1.50 to 2.492
2.50 to 3.493
3.50 to 4.494
