Sun City Center Homeowners Told to Tear Down HOA-Approved Fences Over Drainage Dispute

912 N Pebble Beach Blvd. — Reported Site of HOA Fence Dispute. Homeowners in Sun City Center are being ordered to move or remove backyard fences that a local governing district says are blocking drainage easements, and they are footing the bill themselves even though their homeowners associations approved the fences in the first place. Victor Abreu already paid a contractor $1,000 to shift his fence 15.5 feet toward his house, a move that cost him plants, bushes and part of his irrigation system.

Weekend Plans Become A Whole Saturday Out At This Century-Old Florida Racetrack

I would like to state, for the record, that betting on the horse with the prettiest name is a perfectly valid strategy. It has worked for me in theory many times. Florida has a thoroughbred racetrack that just turned 100 years old, and it still lets you stand close enough to hear the hooves. Entry has long cost about what a fancy coffee does, and some days it costs nothing at all.

Florida passed Amendment 3, but Tampa Bay voters were divided

Amendment 3 passed by a statewide vote, but support wasn't distributed equally. Why it matters: The property tax exemption performed better in Republican-leaning areas with fewer renters, according to a Tampa Bay Times analysis of voter data . In fact, Gov. Ron DeSantis attributed the measure to helping drive Republican voter turnout. The big picture: About 62% of voters statewide approved the amendment, according to the Florida Division of Elections. That firmly cleared the 60% approval threshold for state constitutional amendments. Yes, but: It fell short of that threshold in nine counties, including both Pinellas and Hillsborough. All nine voted Democrat in top-ticket races, per the Times. Those counties also have more renters. Zoom in: The pattern also played out locally, the Times reported. "Yes" votes were more common in areas with older and wealthier residents and more expensive homes. In Pinellas, that was the beach communities and East Lake. In Hillsborough, look to suburbs in the eastern part of the county like Brandon and Lithia.
