Municipal Service Taxing Unit
» What we do
A Municipal Service Taxing Unit (MSTU) is a funding mechanism
for community members to create, through approval of the Board
of County Commissioners, a special taxing district to make
improvements to their neighborhood and/or community.
Collier County Alternative Transportation Modes Department
oversees the administration of the MSTU's. The MSTU's have
advisory committees comprised of community members within
the MSTU boundary and appointed by the Board of County Commissioners.
These committees meet monthly to discuss and approve capital
projects consistent with the Purchasing policies. These monthly
meetings are publicly noticed. If you are interested in attending
one of these meeting please click of the following link,
Public Information. All of these committees are regulated
by the Sunshine Law and must follow the Collier County policies
and procedures.
All capital projects as well as the maintenance of the projects
are managed by project management staff of Alternative Transportation
Modes. The funding is created through a mileage rate set by
the ordinance in which it is created.
MSTU capital projects may include, but are not limited to:
- Drainage improvements
- Sidewalk construction
- Road improvements
- Landscape Beautification
- Decorative lighting
