Funny, but my checking account doesn't differentiate between taxes and fees. They both lower my balance. “In 2009, during a difficult budget year, the Legislature made the hard choice to increase certain fees associated with driving a vehicle in lieu of raising taxes….”

I was a resident of Florida and I moved to Alabama and I am now back in Florida. I was shocked when I went to get everything changed over to Florida. It amazed me that Alabama only charged $26.00 for me to get my license changed and Florida charged me $152.00. Do not even get me started on the price of my tag and title. I hope they do cut down the taxes on everything. I hope they do cut the registration fees. I was a resident of Florida and I moved to Alabama and I am now back in Florida.

Our local water system must pay a license fee each year to Florida Department of Environmental Protection, just to operate. This fee is in addition to all the other regulatory requirements we must meet for that agency. Up until 2009, that fee was $50.00 per year. When the new budget was passed in 2009, along with many other increases, it approved an increase for this license to $2,000.00. That's right: from $50.00 to $2,000.00 with the stroke of a pen.
