This is sooo confusing to us resident taxpayers (God know how the non-resident taxpayers can figure it out). The property taxes should NOT be raised higher than last year - whatever the millage rate turns out to be. In fact they should be lower to compensate for the worsening economic situation Marco Island taxpayers are facing. I've never understood the rationale for tying road resurfacing to the STRP. I thought there was always a line item in the operating/capital(?) budget for road resurfacing and that the schedule of its completion be tied to the STRP zones being torn up.
