Property Tax Increases Rile Renters [North Florida]
The news was grim last week in the over-55 mobile home park of Crystal Lake. Rents are going up $15.
But residents’ share of the property tax bill is what has them riled.
“People are upset. Everyone in here is concerned with the rent increases, but the only thing we feel we can do anything about is the property tax increase,” said Jerry Lavender, the homeowners association president who explained the increase to residents last Monday – and then drafted letters to elected officials.
