• Smaller Palm Beach County towns will struggle under tax cuts, property appraiser warns (sun-sentinel.com) — Tequesta could face serious budget strain if Florida voters approve a new property tax exemption this November, potentially threatening services like parks, libraries, and local events. Palm Beach County’s property appraiser and commissioners warn that smaller “bedroom communities” such as Tequesta may lose a large share of their tax base, while the county overall could see hundreds of millions cut from funding key services.
   

• For one small town in Palm Beach County, one big condo building means one big tax boost (wlrn.org) — Tequesta’s taxable value is pegged at about $2.37 billion, with $17.5 million in new construction helping shape what your future property tax bills may look like.
