You got that correct, and the list of subsidies goes on. They pay for trash pickup and a base water and sewer fee while not using them. And not only do they pay taxes year round, they pay higher taxes, effectively subsidizing those enjoying the homestead exemption. They also keep many service companies in business that care for their properties while away. And green fees wouldn’t go way down during slow season if they stayed year round. They are literally the goose that lays the golden eggs, and many people fail to recognize that and want to roast that goose.
