Summary:

Statewide

Halifax Hospital Medical Center is a special tax district of Volusia County created by Florida Law. In 2018, Halifax filed suit in the trial court to validate a bond issue to establish a hospital in the City of Deltona. The trial court denied the bond validation, reasoning the project was outside the scope of Halifax’s authority. Halifax challenged the trial court’s ruling in this Court, arguing that Florida law provides the necessary authority to establish and operate medical facilities outside its geographic boundaries.
