“ Moreover, Florida law stipulates that the total amount of property taxes collected by each taxing authority cannot increase by more than 3% or the inflation rate, whichever is lesser, unless voters approve an increase.”
You will find that:
1. This is not a property tax; and,
2. This is a new taxing authority establishing a new assessment and not an increase to an existing property tax
