DUES Info! - All resorts dues have been released

6 cents per point is very high imo and now I’m mad about it. How can we be required to pay for something then be denied access? (I have not read past this comment yet maybe someone answered how that is allowed)

As I understand it, if it has to do with residency, then we don't qualify....but it will be interesting to see if there is a way around it when @mkatsy since it sounds like for the library its just owning property? So, we have an ownership interest in the building but we are on leased land?

I just know that the POS discusses that we don't qualify for FL residency by owning DVC so I assume that anything that assumes that, we are not eligible!

Yeah I’m totally fine with not being eligible I just don’t understand how we can be required to pay for something we aren’t eligible for.

There are different tiers of library cards. There is a resident card (which as you said, we definitely don’t qualify for) and they get extra stuff like home delivery of books. There is also a property owner card, same thing minus the book delivery. There is also a fee card ($125) but it’s the stripped down version, just book privileges none of the extras. I’ll try again next week and be a bit more assertive. Last time I tried I was new to DVC and not very confident in my argument. The property owner card accepts an out of state driver license.

The only thing I see is that it says you need to be named on a tax bill and we are not.

Keep us posted!

I know, that’s how they shut me down last try. but they take millions of dollars from us year after year, it’s frustrating.

Wouldn’t it be the same as not being eligible for any resident benefits since our ownership doesn’t make use residents, even though we are required to pay taxes?

They let the snow birds have it and they don’t have homestead status.

But they would have property that has a tax bill in their name, right?

Someone renting who is from out of state wouldn’t be eligible would they?

Even Disney will give owners who have a property tax bill, or utility bill FL resident discounts even if they may not have a FL license.

I am not sure,and honestly, don’t know enough about the library.

Yes, they definitely would have their name in the tax bill. the renters are eligible as long as the lease is 6 months.

Have see what other types of taxes are being paid to know that. So is it like typical property taxes? We pay for schools? I never would have guessed that.
