Certain Lots Upon Which Taxes Are Delinquent v. Town of Monticello

Supreme Court of Florida

Decided February 21, 1947Published

1Dissent

I think that the levy could not have been legally authorized except by ordinance. I do not think Sec. 265.24 Fla. Statutes 1941 (same F.S.A.) was sufficient to ratify the assessment theretofore made in such manner as not to comply with applicable law and not affording due process of law. This section is too indefinite to effectuate that purpose. See Hendricks v. Town of Green Cove Springs, 103 Fla. 87,137 So. 229.
