Yeah after your post I read up on FLA prop taxes and see that it was a big issue in the last governor's race. Apparently they're trying to charge the part time residents higher property taxes or something?
Florida will do almost anything to avoid having a state income tax, because that's one of the reasons it's such a retirement haven. People living on their 401(k) and IRA money don't have to pay state tax on the withdrawals.
I remember the last time I lived there they started this thing called IMPACT fees, which were basically VAT taxes on alot of different things. I hope they get your shit worked out man.
Edit : Oh yeah, FIDDY people paying too much in property tax
