Last update: 10 hours agoEverglades land-use fight: Everglades City Council pushed back on Collier County’s planned purchase of 53 waterfront acres near the Everglades Airpark, saying it can’t stop the deal but wants limits—no boat ramp and full reimbursement of lost taxes until the property is taxed again.

Policy debate on property taxes: Hillsborough’s “State of the Market” event highlighted concerns that a proposed ballot property tax reduction could cut local revenue by billions, shifting costs to fees and assessments.
