That applies to all tax exemptions to all special identified groups. Homestead exemption is for homeowners only. (What about renters of rental properties?). Seniors. Veterans. Low income. Agriculture. Conservation. Senior apartments. On and on. Every exemption that is legislated or voted on by the public is a hit on someone else. Exemptions like for this business are a drop in the bucket. The playing field is very uneven when it comes to property taxes and exemptions in Florida. @rob said: Every time a business gets a sweetheart deal when it comes to taxes, just know that the difference will be coming directly out of your pocket.

If they don't come, who pays the bill? I'm sure there will be many other taxes paid with their presence. Rob, surely you can’t be that ignorant. If they don’t come, who pays the bill?

The City of Pensacola would have to provide their own exemption if they wish. The School, Sheriff, Water Management, Library, and Children's Trust portion of the taxes are not eligible for the exemption. The exemption also doesn't apply to the value of the land, just improvements to the land. For every $1M of assessed value on the improvements, it would save the company around $6,600/year. At most this will save them $50K/year? The exemption only applies to about 1/2 of an Escambia County Tax Bill. The City of Pensacola would have to provide their own exemption if they wish.
