IMHO, no villagers that went through it may not be the best source of the info. There was a change in the building code about 2 years ago, not sure what the impact of that was on your plans, I know for a fact it caught us MID STREAM in our project, and we lost over 2 weeks getting revised plans approved.
The building department people (Pinellas Plaza) are very friendly and easy to deal with, I am assuming the tax people will be the same.
And just to provide you with some additional confusion, you will find that the requirements are different depending on whether your house is stick built or Block/poured concrete, go figure.
IMHO, talk to the experts, not contractors, or other villagers, it is way to easy to get caught in a detail....
