    This delegation meeting is also the same day and time as the Escambia County Farm Bureau annual meeting held in Molino.

    Everyone should read https://m.flsenate.gov/Statutes/191.009 You’d have to be a lawyer to understand it. it explains the difference between AD Valorem and NON-AD Valorem and the process of increasing the amount levied on you property .I do not agree with requested 80.9% increase on my home NON-AD Valorem and the 162% increase on unimproved land that we own. There should be a cap on the amount of increase on an existing NON-AD Valorem.

    Excerpt from 2024 Florida statue 191.009 paragraph 2(a). Proposed non-ad valorem assessment increases that exceed the rate set the previous fiscal year or the rate previously set by special act or county ordinance, whichever is more recent, by more than the average annual growth rate in Florida personal income over the last 5 years, or the first-time levy of non-ad valorem assessments in a district, must be approved by referendum of the electors of the district

    A great point Sharon . School district , Fire , and Law enforcement up using the infamous Valorem tool . Hope Desantis gets no more real state taxes so everybody’s piggy bank stops , and needs for the county are disbursed by Tallahassee from sales taxes (Consumption) under regulated needs and budgeting . I hope our two reps and senator support Desantis initiative regarding this matter , in turned it could improve services and cost for their constituents, and make our civil service folks more productive and efficient .

    Amazing just how they scheduled this on the exact same day as the Public Hearing on the Valorem Assessments to raise the property tax bill for Escambia County Fire Protection District that will be costing the property owners hundreds of dollars and add many millions to the Fire Department.
    So would love to go to your delegation but I have a previous engagement to go to the Escambia County Tax Collectors office at 5:02pm in Pensacola for their public hearing. What a coincidence!
