Can VDH owners collectively negotiate a lower TOT rate with Anaheim?

[ehh]

So I've seen in a few posts from people who know more than I do about this type of thing that Anaheim allows for a lower TOT rate/valuation to be negotiated by owners.

Disney hasn't done that with VDH. It is what it is.

VDH is not for sale currently and Disney will probably own the majority of it for a year+, but once individual owners own the majority or near-entirety of VDH, are they able to collectively negotiate a reduced TOT rate/valuation with Anaheim?

Why would Anaheim do that? They won't and they changed the law specifically to stick their hand in your pocket because they feel the right since you don't live there to take extra money specifically from you for the benefit of driving on their roads to and from the airport skipping the rest of the city.

Also please don't take this with a ton just trying to lay it out like it is.

Do you sucessfully negotiate a lower tax with your nearest city regarding sales tax? It just doesn't happen.

They permit it and have negotiated lower TOT with other timeshares (including with Disney for VGC, apparently).

While I agree they have little reason to, especially after it's built and sold, I'm still curious and would like to learn from those who know these things.

Except that was before the new laws in place that specifically targeted all this supposedly.

Also it only makes sense for them to lower it if they otherwise lose out on money. At this point they are more likely to increase it as much as they are allowed to.

Unless the contracts are written differently, the board of the condo association acts on owners behalf.

Owners of each unit is given a representative to vote on their behalf.

In order for owners to influence thst vote, they have to have 60% of the specific unit all agree to what that what should be. Doing that would be pretty near impossible and even if one couple, thst unti still gets one vote.

So, I do not think that owners on their one can do anything because the condo association board is who is responsible and those positions are Disney people.

Under the law, only the operator is granted the authority to negotiate a lower rate, and that is defined pretty clearly here as DVC:

Time-share operator" shall mean any person or entity who owns a time-share project, sells time-share interests, or operates a time-share project before, during or after the sale of time-share interests in such project.

That settles that, thanks!
