Default Every Florida Taxpayer Will Pay Higher Taxes

What many on this thread fail to understand is that if Florida HB 337 and S 750 are enacted, EVERY Florida property taxpayer will be paying higher taxes whenever new development is built in their county and the costs of that development are greater than the impact fees currently being charged in that county. Since the developer of The Villages wishes to keep their impact fee payments as favorable as they have been, they are willing to take the impact fee decisions by the other 66 counties in Florida out of the hands of those county governments. I wonder if the other 66 counties are in favor of giving up this responsibility? If you have friends or relatives in another county, you might want to make them aware of this slight of hand.
