Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis' dissolution of Walt Disney World Resort's special tax district last April left questions about possible financial consequences for local taxpayers. Lawmakers are set to address them in a special session that starts Monday.
The new law might also make those counties responsible for services previously covered by the company, like fixing roads or providing law enforcement. Disney paid $105 million for those services, according to"The bill will have an indeterminate fiscal impact on residents and businesses currently served by a special district dissolved by the bill," the Senate analysis said.
DeSantis did not"erase" any tax-exempt status for Disney. That misconstrues the special taxing district status that is in the process of being removed. We could not find evidence to substantiate the $200 million tax figure cited in the claim. The financial impact of the legislation on Disney’s tax bill remains unclear.Email interview with Scott Randolph, Orange County tax collector, April 26, 2022
