Re: Tax Increases


We bought property in Cedar Key over 10 years ago, with the hope of eventually retiring there. We visit fairly often and love the history, great sunsets, proximity to nature, and friendly people.

We are now considering building a house, but the proposed tax increases have us concerned. Our property taxes have gone up dramatically over the past few years and will just about double if the proposed changes are enacted. With more than one lot for breathing space, and a house, we wonder where this is going. Will Cedar Key become completely unaffordable? How can these increases be justified?

We would like to add our names to the list of those who think these tax increases are unfair and exorbitant.
