Stone Harbor - As far as tax increases go, 85 percent of all taxes are from second homeowners. The 15 percent that contributes taxes as full-time residents are the minority. So the people with the money are paying far more than they should as they have no vote in the decisions. The council makes decisions that affect this 85 percent but they can't vote on the decisions so the council historically takes increases because it's easy to do.
Moderator's Note:
The proportion of locals to second homeowners was not corroborated.
