I think that you are confusing CDD districts with County Districts. Check your voter registration card to see which County District you are in. There are only 5 County Districts.

Your 28.1% is a combination of the 25% millage increase, plus an increase in your assessed value.

Your taxes this year continue to be charged at the millage rate that was increased by 25% in 2019 in order to preserve the Developer's sweetheart impact fee. Every time you pay your County Tax, you are, essentially, writing a check to the Developer in the amount of your higher tax.
