Destin Finance Committee weighs higher license fees
Destin officials, led by Mayor Bob McIlroy, push to raise business, professional and occupancy license fees to fund state revenue sharing. The panel splits Destin for surveys, debates per boat and per machine charges, and rethinks coin operated, taxi and fishing fees while seeking legal guidance on charter boats. A July 8 survey review and July 11 recommendation are planned.
