Supreme Court of Florida

Dean K. Matt v. State of Florida

July 9, 2026

Summary

The court affirmed validation of the recreation district’s 2024 bond issue, holding that the district had statutory authority to proceed, that the proposed special assessments were supported by logically related special benefits, and that the appellant received due process. The court also held that the appellant’s disqualification motion was legally insufficient and untimely, while his remaining due-process objections were unpreserved and inadequately argued.
