The tax payers are paying more than their fair share. Is the developer paying their fare share for all this massive expansion?
I don't know the answer to this. I'm trying to find out as much as I can.

I hope the mods don't close this thread.

It's interesting to note that if a homeowner does NOT have Homestead in Florida, their property taxes for the coming year cannot be raised more than 3%.

And here homeowners are slammed with a 25% increase? Under any circumstances, can anyone really make sense out of this?
