At the per centage they have selected, their current building per mit charge is $50.00 per square foot. Therefore, a 2,000 square foot home building permit will cost the builder (actually the cost is passed to the pur chaser) SIO,OOO. One would be lead to believe that the fee would certainly halt res idential growth. It hasn’t. As of this summer, some 5,000 home sites were awaiting development. Residential development has a negative tax rev enue effect and must be offset by industrial and commercial development. Unfortunately, our coun ty’s development authority has not been able to attract new industry to Houston County. As a result, we can anticipate a future fiscal crisis. Again, I thank and con gratulate the city of Perry for doing the right thing for its citizens. I hope that the other cities in the county and the county itself will recognize the obligation they have to their citizens and begin using impact fees. Lastly, there is another area of tax equity that this “vocal group of advocates” is beginning to bring to the attention of our elect ed leaders.

Some refer to this as a property tax freeze and others call it a freeze on property tax assessments. Regardless of the name placed upon it, it is time to stop what is nothing more than a tax on unrealized income. The negative affect of property re-assessments upon those with a fixed income cannot be over emphasized. Further, the “freeze” must not be offered only to senior citi zens but must be provided to all property owners. It is a matter of equity for all our residents. David E.
