News Reedy Creek Improvement District and the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District

[GoofGoof]

Arriving late. Does anyone know what the board is suing for? What is the legal basis of the lawsuit?

They didn’t specify but mentioned the contract signed by the old board so I assume they are suing to get out of that contract.

You can go to the Orange Count Tax Collector's website right now and check out the tax bill for any part of Disney property, where it will show you where their their tax payments are routed to.

Just check their yearly lawsuits.

This one is so easily proven wrong that it's hilarious.

Check it out. Here's the property tax bill for Magic Kingdom - just Magic Kingdom Park, not the TTC, not the parking lot.

What's that? 15% of that is going Orange County, plus additional 13% to Orange County Schools.

Good thing they're in a "special tax district" and get a "tax break". Otherwise they would have to pay their “fair share”.

Yep.

They sue and get a little bit of what they paid back. But the county still ends up ahead.

I can't find it in this thread, but can someone tell me what taxes the businesses at Disney Springs pay that would be affected by RCID raising taxes?

I really wish @seascape in that video would have said after he voiced his opinion that "I fully expect to receive notice that the taxes have been increased on DVC properties owned by users active on the WDWmagic forum who's name's reference water"

You know....laws not targeted to any one person in particular....just a happy coincidence.

I'm not sure exactly, but it was clarified that technically they are raising taxes that Disney will pass on to these businesses as per their lease agreements.

As do many, many, many, many land/house owners all over the country

Blogmickey article says to "uphold and enforce the Board’s April 26th, 2023 legislative findings"

DeSantis' Oversight District Announces New Lawsuit Against Walt Disney World

The Central Florida Tourism Oversight District has approved a lawsuit against Walt Disney World in Central Florida state court

blogmickey.com

The Board is too late. Disney will ask for the cases combined in the federal court where their suit was filed and the federal court will likely agree given "diversity jurisdiction (i.e. Disney is likely organized in California) and the significant federal questions/issues involved ( 1st Amendment and Contract Clause). DeSantis is pushing a loosing position.

We are leaving Boardwalk tomorrow. I also guess there is no hiding anymore. After several interviews by different tv stations and wife shopping at DS we are off to AK for the rest of the day.

Property taxes are often paid by the tenant in a commercial lease.
