True. The 25% increase (it was actually more) was never going to be reversed by raising impact fees - the numbers just didn't match up.
Interesting that what was probably the real cause of the increase, paying for the new roads for the southern area, has been covered already yet the increase remains in place. Once a tax is in place it is nearly impossible to remove.
It will be interesting to see what happens if the IFD passes. With the VPSD and SCFD removed from the general fund (about 30% of the total ad-valorem income), property taxes should be lowered to about 70% of the 2023 rollback rate. I am skeptical.
