The Cat and I are away from the Canoe but returning shortly and I was catching up on the fine points of the revised proposal.

Aside from the fact the lot revision still has the single family homeowner at a disavantage (who does the math on these things…all these board members boast of fabulous resumes but had trouble with math????), we start start at the original 3/4% tax, then the revision ADDS ADDITIONAL FUNDING from lots that eventually have a home built on them, BUT there is NO CHANGE on the 3/4 of a percent for the existing single family home sale.

What is the reasoning on this???  More funding should equate to a change (reduction) in the 3/4% tax??

Absent a logical response your board continues to put eveyone else first before the single family homeowner.  Someone enlighten me on what I am missing???????????????????

PS:  If a board member responds to this can they also tell me how to build a 4000 square foot home in the Canoe for $350,000 ($450k house in example less $100K lot)

Smoke signals “Here’s how it would work, assuming the amendment passes: Say a buyer purchases a $100,000 lot; he will pay a $750 CIF at closing. When the buyer decides to build a 4,000 square-foot-home on that property, he will be responsible for a $2,400 IPF, for a total fee of $3,150. A buyer who purchases an already built new home or resale priced at $450,000 would pay a one-time CIF of $3,375. ”

Advantage Dirt Selling Developer…Disadvantage Single Family Homeowner in need of selling most likely due to a sudden life event (which seldom translates into good timing) - what is so hard about putting the single family homeowner first???
