Many roads in the Unincorporated Area of Collier County are unpaved, private roads not maintained by the County which may become impassable if not maintained. It is imperative that all roads in the County are passable to emergency services vehicles to protect the public health, safety, and welfare in certain emergencies, including fires, hurricanes, and floods. The Board of County Commissioners approved the ordinance to form the Unpaved Private Roads Emergency Repair MSTU at the Board of County Commissioners meeting on Tuesday, December 10, 2024.

The Collier County Board of Commissioners understands that some private unpaved roads may be in good condition and receiving continuous maintenance. Under these circumstances, the Board is proposing an opt-out provision affording property owners to demonstrate that the road is passible and there is a sustainable maintenance plan in place to negate the inclusion of said road in the MSTU. If at a point in the future the road becomes impassable to emergency vehicles and emergency maintenance is required by the County, those previously opted-out properties shall become subjected to the tax levied.
