I have been a Condo Owner for 50 years. I pay taxes just like full time residents. I am usually here during the winter months. I should be able to get a pass.
Destin bureaucrats act like they are doing people a favor. Bunch of greedy narcissistic po’s. Everyone lives on average until approx 84. Those thieves will rob until the last day and nobody will remember their names bcs their names are worthless. No wonder God says their families will pay up through 3rd and 4th generations. Gross. Maybe they’ll get a stupid street sign named after them.
